Product Overview
What It Is & How It's Made
True Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is grown almost exclusively for its inner bark, which is peeled and dried into cinnamon quills for the global spice trade. That process leaves behind a substantial volume of hardwood stems and offcuts — material that Sanis Eco converts into charcoal rather than letting it go to waste.
Because the wood itself carries traces of the same aromatic oils found in the bark, cinnamon wood charcoal burns with a distinctive, subtly spiced aroma that sets it apart from standard hardwood or coconut shell charcoal. It's supplied as lump charcoal for a more rustic, artisanal burn, or pressed into briquettes for a denser, longer-lasting format — and as Sri Lanka produces the majority of the world's true cinnamon, it's a genuinely single-origin product that's difficult for most exporters to replicate.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it actually smell like cinnamon when burned?
It carries a subtle, naturally spiced aroma from the cinnamon hardwood — noticeably different from standard charcoal, though lighter than the bark spice itself.
Is this made from the same trees as cinnamon spice?
Yes — it's produced from the hardwood offcuts and stems left over after the bark is harvested for the cinnamon spice trade.
Is lump or briquette format better?
Lump gives a more rustic, artisanal burn; briquettes offer a denser, more uniform and longer-lasting burn. Both are available.
Can this be private labeled?
Yes, burlap sack branding and printed box options are both available for private label buyers.
