Sri Lanka is the only supplier of true and finest Cinnamon to the world. Global superpowers in the 15th Century waged war over trading rights for Ceylon Cinnamon and Pepper, making Ceylon Spices, the flavour that launched a thousand ships.
Today, Sri Lanka is well known internationally as a leading exporter of Ceylon Cinnamon, Ceylon Pepper, Ceylon Cloves, Ceylon Nutmeg and Ceylon Cardamom, all branded under the geographical indication of Ceylon Spices due to their unique aroma and flavor shaped by the terroir of the country.
In addition, spice manufacturers in Sri Lanka extract and export a range of essential oils and powder extracted from the spices.
