Cinnamon Bark chips from The Witches Pantry can be used in your magical teas, bath soaks, incense blends and spell work.
Cinnamomum verum, commonly known as "true cinnamon" is a small, evergreen tree native to Sri Lanka and Southern India. The bark of the tree is harvested and dried into quills or chips, which are then used as a spice or for their essential oil. Cinnamon bark has a sweet, warm, and slightly spicy aroma, with a delicate flavour compared to the stronger and more common Cassia variety. The cinnamon tree thrives in tropical climates with well-drained soil and moderate rainfall, and its bark is hand-harvested, carefully dried, and prepared for use in culinary and medicinal applications.
