Experience the cinnamon blossom – one of the rarest and most refined spice rarities from the Cinnamomum verum, the Ceylon cinnamon tree. While the bark of this tree is world-famous as genuine Ceylon cinnamon sticks, the blossom remains a well-kept secret among connoisseurs. This delicate flower is less known than the bark, but its unique aroma profile makes it a special treasure for discerning gourmets.
Cinnamon blossom comes from the true Ceylon cinnamon tree, which is distinctly different from ordinary cassia cinnamon due to its superior organoleptic properties and health benefits. The blossoms carry a sweet, slightly spicy perfume with recognizable cinnamon notes, though these are much more subtle and delicate than those found in the bark. It is less sharp, more floral, and more elegant—a cinnamon nuance like you've never experienced before.
Cinnamon blossoms are particularly at home in pastry making. You can infuse them into delicate cakes, mousses, creams, and panna cotta, where they impart a subtle, floral-spicy cinnamon note without being overpowering. They are also excellent in chocolate desserts, vanilla cream, or as a sophisticated ingredient in macarons and pralines.
Cinnamon blossoms also unfold their full beauty in teas and infusions. Combine them with ginger, cardamom, or floral notes like chamomile for a fragrant, soothing cup of tea. The subtle cinnamon aromas create a warm, relaxing atmosphere—perfect for cozy evenings or as a bedtime ritual.
Exclusively available at the Eterna Concept Store in Stäfa on Lake Zurich. These rare Ceylon cinnamon blossoms are a must-have for pastry chefs, tea lovers, and anyone who wants to enrich their cooking with exceptional spice rarities.
