The highest quality grade of Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is Alba

Here’s a breakdown of the common grades based on quill thickness and quality:


1. Alba – The highest quality, with the thinnest and most delicate quills (diameter around 6 mm or less). It has a refined aroma and smooth texture.

2. C5 Special (C5 SP) – Slightly thicker than Alba but still of very high quality.

3. C5 – A premium grade with good aroma and fine texture.

4. C4 – A bit thicker than C5 but still high quality.

5. M4 & M5 – Medium grades with a stronger flavor, slightly rougher texture.

6. H1, H2, H3 – Lower grades with thicker, coarser quills, often used for grinding into cinnamon powder.


If you’re looking for the best and most delicate Ceylon cinnamon, Alba is the top choice.
