Ishpingo Tea Amazonian Cinnamon

Taste, origin and use

Ishpingo brings cinnamon aroma from the leaf rather than the bark. This unexpected form makes Amazonian cinnamon a compelling discovery for customer conversations, aroma samples and custom blends.

The product consists of pure, dried leaves from an evergreen Amazonian cinnamon tree. Their aroma and flavour strongly recall cinnamon bark, while the visible leaf form offers a surprising talking point. The leaves come from Kichwa permaculture forest gardens in Ecuador. Tea, baking and cooking give specialist retailers several uses to present.

Warm, intensely cinnamon-like and aromatic, despite using leaves alone. The distinctive spice is well suited to rounding out fruit and vanilla. Brew it on its own as a tea, incorporate it into custom blends or use small amounts in baking and cooking. Offer it pure and in house tea blends, or explain it as an aromatic alternative to cinnamon bark for baking and cooking.
