It has a distinctive sweetness and aroma, with a subtle spiciness, and is also used to flavor beverages such as cappuccino. Of course, it is also good to add to curry or chai. Sri Lankan cinnamon is Cinnamomum zeylanicum, which is recognized as a different plant from C. cassia from Indonesia, China, and Vietnam. It contains well-balanced trace components other than cinnamic aldehyde, the main spicy and aromatic component of cinnamon, and is characterized by a very complex and noble aroma compared to products from other regions. In Japan, related species such as Nikkei (肉桂, C. sieboldii, synonym: C. okinawense) grow naturally on Tokunoshima, Okinawa (Kume Island, Ishigaki Island). Cinnamon was used in ancient Egypt around 4,000 BC as a spice for mummification preservation (antiseptic). Afterwards, until the Middle Ages, the origin of cinnamon was unknown in Europe. Portuguese traders discovered Sri Lanka (Ceylon) as the source by the late 15th century, built a fortress there in 1518, and gained an exclusive position for over a century. Later, the Dutch, with the East India Company, allied with the ancient capital Kandy, expelled the Portuguese, and monopolized the trade, which caused conflicts.
