Description
Color chart featuring a twig and dried bark of the cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum sp.). The finest cinnamon comes from the Ceylon cinnamon tree, which is now found from southern India through Southeast Asia and Indonesia to China. It has also been introduced to the Seychelles, Mauritius, Madagascar, the Antilles, Guyana, and Brazil. However, it is most common in Sri Lanka, where four subspecies are distinguished. The plantations are located primarily in the southwest of the island, from the coast up to an altitude of 1,000 meters.
