Cinnamon Cassia Chip
Cassia chips are ideal for chai masalas, mulling spice, and tea blends. The chips release more flavor than sticks, but are still easy to remove or strain from an infusion. The high oil content of this Indonesian cassia variety is consistently strong and pure.

Spice 101
Cinnamon Cassia Chip is a robust and pungent variety of cinnamon that is more assertive than its Ceylon counterpart. This spice is not just a single-note wonder; it carries hints of clove and citrus that make it a unique addition to both sweet and savory dishes. It's a pure, single-ingredient spice, so there's no need to list multiple components.
Cassia, often confused with cinnamon, has a history as rich and complex as its flavor. Originating from Southern China and making its way along the spice routes to Europe, Cassia was historically traded as a cheaper alternative to true cinnamon but has since carved out its own esteemed place in culinary and cultural practices. In ancient times, it was not only a spice but also a commodity often used for bartering.
Across different cultures, Cassia's uses have varied significantly. In China, it has been used in traditional medicine and as a flavoring agent in cooking for thousands of years. Contrastingly, in medieval Europe, it was a luxury item, used in the kitchens of the wealthy to add depth to sweet and savory dishes alike.
We adore Cinnamon Cassia Chip for its bold, spicy kick that stands up beautifully in robust dishes. It's a stellar addition to homemade spice mixes and even craft cocktails needing a spicy twist.
Cinnamon Cassia Chip is a small juggernaut of sweet-spicy flavor, perfect for adding warmth to both sweet and savory dishes. Known for its bold taste, it shines in baked goods, curries, and even hearty stews.
