Here are the processing steps for cassia cinnamon:
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 cut off branches and then fall the cassia tree. They typically harvest cinnamon twice a year. It’s right after the rainy season. Because it’s easy to peel off the bark due to the humidity.
Step 2 – Processing: Manual processing can account for up to 60% of the total cost of cinnamon production. Producers use a sharp knife, skillfully peeling 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 4 – 5 days to prevent them from losing shape. Later, producers will make them exposed 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, the barks will be ground into a fine powder.

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