Rolled cinnamon quills, packed by Malwatte in a 20g glass shaker bottle. Quills are made by peeling the thin inner bark of the cinnamon tree and rolling the layers into sticks that dry into firm, papery tubes.
Malwatte grows cinnamon on its own estates in Sri Lanka and processes it at its cinnamon factory on the Talduwa division of Vincit Estate. Sri Lankan cinnamon is the thin-barked, delicately flavoured kind often sold as Ceylon cinnamon.
