Step 1 – Harvesting: The cassia cinnamon tree is ready for harvesting 8-10 years after planting, however, 15 years is ideal for the best quality. Farmers will cut off branches and fall the entire tree. Farmers typically harvest cinnamon twice a year, right after the rainy season, as humidity causes the bark to peel off more easily.

Step 2 – Processing: Manual processing can account for up to 60% of the total cost of cinnamon production. Using a sharp knife, skilled workers peel the rough outer bark away to reveal the soft inner bark inside. Different final products will require additional steps during the cinnamon production process.

Step 3—Drying: The removed barks are known as quills. These parts will be dried in the shade for four to five days to prevent them from losing shape. Later, producers will let them expose to sunlight until completely dry.

Step 4 – Grading: Inside factories, workers grade cinnamon based on its thickness, appearance, and essential oil content.

Step 5 – Cutting & Grinding: Cut cinnamon bark to appropriate lengths for different types. For example, tube cinnamon measures 30 to 45 centimeters long, whereas cigarette cinnamon measures only 8 to 10 centimeters. In cases where the final product is powder form, they will grind the barks into a fine powder.

There are many kinds of cassia such as whole tube, split, stick, cigarette, broken, pressed…

Step 6 – Packing: Pack cinnamon quills in moisture-proof bags or carton boxes to prevent breakage.
