Introduction to Vietnamese Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia)
In the majestic mountains of Northwest Vietnam, the cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum cassia) thrives in its ideal environment. With mineral-rich soil and a characteristic tropical monsoon climate, Vietnamese cinnamon trees flourish, creating precious “golden forests” that provide abundant raw materials for the spice and fragrance industry.
Vietnamese cinnamon is not only famous for its warm, spicy aroma, but it is also highly regarded by experts for its high content of cinnamaldehyde essential oil. Cinnamaldehyde is a natural compound with antibacterial and antioxidant properties, offering numerous health benefits. As a result, Vietnamese cinnamon is always the top choice for the most demanding markets worldwide.
Diverse Products from the Cinnamon Tree
From a mature cinnamon tree, we can obtain a myriad of valuable products, each with its own unique flavor and uses:

- Cinnamon Bark:
- Whole tube cassia: Thick cinnamon bark, naturally rolled, often used for extracting essential oils or as a raw material for producing other products such as cinnamon powder and cinnamon tea.
- Cigaret cassia: Cinnamon bark cut into small sticks, convenient for daily use in cooking and beverages.
- Split cassia, Press cassia: Thin cinnamon bark split or pressed into pieces, often used as a spice or for food decoration.
- Round/Square Cut: Cinnamon bark cut into shapes as per customer request, often used in decoration or crafts.
- Cinnamon Leaf: Dried cinnamon leaves have a mild aroma, often used to make cinnamon tea or as a spice in cooking, adding a unique flavor to dishes.
- Cinnamon Branch:
- Small cinnamon branches: Often pressed for essential oil or ground into cinnamon powder, with antibacterial and antioxidant effects, used in traditional medicine and cosmetics production.
- Large cinnamon branches: Can be peeled for broken cassia or for essential oil extraction.
- Cinnamon twigs: Cinnamon branches cut into small pieces, often used for decoration or as a spice, adding a touch to living spaces.
- Wood core: The sturdy wood core is used to make handicrafts, fences, or cut into veneer for interior decoration, bringing a luxurious and warm beauty.
The Meticulous Processing Process
To obtain high-quality cinnamon products, Vietnamese farmers have diligently researched and perfected a meticulous processing process:

- Harvesting: Cinnamon trees can only be harvested after 10-15 years of growth. There are two main cinnamon peeling seasons: spring (February-March) and autumn (late July – early August).
- Peeling: Before harvesting, the bark is girdled (a portion of the bark around the base is removed) to prevent the transportation of water and nutrients, making it easier to peel the cinnamon bark from the trunk and ensuring the best quality.
- Sorting and processing: Cinnamon after peeling is classified into 3 types (A, B, C) based on thickness, quality, and essential oil content. Each type of cinnamon is processed using a specific method:
- Type A cinnamon: Dried and packaged or peeled as per request.
- Type B cinnamon: Cleaned, then processed into long cinnamon sticks, square cinnamon pieces, cinnamon tubes, or broken cassia.
- Type C cinnamon: Processed into cinnamon tubes or split cinnamon.
