1. How to process premium Cassia Cinnamon

Producing premium Yen Bai cassia cinnamon involves a meticulous process that ensures its exceptional quality. Here’s a step-by-step guide to how it’s done:

Step 1: Harvesting

Cassia cinnamon trees are ready for harvest 8–10 years after planting, but the highest quality bark is obtained from trees aged 15 years or older. Farmers carefully cut the branches and fell the tree. Harvesting typically occurs twice a year, immediately after the rainy season, when the humidity makes it easier to peel the bark.

Step 2: Processing

Manual processing is a labor-intensive step, accounting for up to 60% of the total production cost. Skilled workers use sharp knives to peel away the rough outer bark, revealing the soft, aromatic inner bark. The specific processing steps vary depending on the final product, whether it’s quills, sticks, or powder.

Step 3: Drying

The peeled bark, known as quills, is first dried in the shade for 4–5 days to maintain its shape. Afterward, it is sun-dried until completely dry, ensuring the cinnamon retains its essential oils and rich flavor.

Step 4: Grading

In factories, producers grade the dried cinnamon based on thickness, appearance, and essential oil content. This ensures consistency and quality across all batches.

Step 5: Cutting & Grinding

The cinnamon bark is cut into specific lengths depending on its use. For example:  

• Tube cinnamon: 30–45 cm long  
• Cigarette cinnamon: 8–10 cm long  
• For powdered cinnamon, the bark is ground into a fine, uniform powder.

Step 6: Packing

The final product is packed in moisture-proof bags or carton boxes to prevent breakage and preserve freshness. Cassia cinnamon is available in various forms, including whole tube, split, stick, cigarette, broken, and pressed.

2. What is Whole Tube Cassia Cinnamon?

Whole tube cassia cinnamon is the outer bark of the cassia tree, harvested and dried into long, thin tubes. It has thick skin, rich dark red-brown color, and lengths ranging from 25 to 45 cm. In Vietnam, whole tube cassia cinnamon is available in two varieties: with bark and without bark.

Vietnamese cassia cinnamon is famous for its potent flavor and high essential oil content (up to 3%), which gives it a rich, strong, and spicy taste. Producers commonly grind it into powder or used to extract cassia oil due to its high oil content.

4. Proper ways to store Cassia Cinnamon

Cassia cinnamon is a precious spice with numerous uses and benefits, so proper storage is essential to maintain its quality and potency. Here’s how to store it effectively:

Airtight containers: Store cassia cinnamon in an airtight jar to preserve its flavor and aroma.  

Cool, dry place: Keep it in a pantry or cupboard away from direct sunlight and moisture, which can cause mold.

Ground cinnamon: If you have ground cassia, use it within six months for optimal flavor, as it loses potency faster than whole quills.  

By following these simple steps, you can keep cassia cinnamon fresh for up to two years!
