Why Alba Cinnamon Is the Ultimate Pantry Upgrade (and the Perfect Gift)

What Makes Alba Cinnamon Special?

Most people have never tasted real cinnamon. The kind in plastic shakers or holiday cookies? That’s almost always Cassia, a cinnamon cousin that’s cheaper, stronger, and higher in coumarin (linked to liver damage in high doses).

Alba cinnamon is different.
Harvested only in Sri Lanka, Alba is the rarest, most refined form of true cinnamon — known as Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum). Its flavor is sweet, floral, and almost ethereal. The quills are light and paper-thin, hand-rolled by artisans who’ve perfected this craft for generations. One sniff, one taste, and you’ll know you’re experiencing something exceptional.

The Pantry Hero You Didn’t Know You Needed

Imagine a single spice that softens your morning matcha, deepens banana bread, and elevates a Sunday dinner. That’s Alba cinnamon — not loud, but elegant.

How to use it:

• Finely ground powder in overnight oats or golden milk.
• Snap a quill into mulled wine.
• Sprinkle flakes over roasted carrots, vanilla ice cream, or olive oil cake.

If you care about extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, or single-origin coffee, you’ll care about this too. Alba cinnamon belongs in the same company — a signal of intention.

Why It Makes an Incredible Gift

The Flavahs Gift Box delivers beauty, meaning, and surprise. Each curated set includes hand-packed jars of Alba quills, flakes, and powder — made in small batches in Sri Lanka by women preserving a rare craft.

• Self-care treats

This is the kind of gift people remember — something they’ll reach for and think of you.

From Royal Courts to Your Countertop

Cinnamon once cost more than gold. It perfumed temples, graced royal banquets, and symbolized luxury. Alba cinnamon brings that legacy forward — not as history, but as a sensory experience you can hold, smell, taste, and share.
