Cinnamon Experience

29 January 2024

Cinnamon was first discovered in Sri Lanka by the Portuguese. This product later became an integral and an invaluable export product in Sri Lanka. Cinnamon cultivation and export became one of Sri Lanka’s prime assets as Sri Lanka produces 90% of the world’s supply of high-quality cinnamon. The Cinnamon Experience is not just informative; it is also a hands-on experience, encouraging you to get their hands a little dirty and strip down some Cinnamon sticks for yourself.

During this hour, experience the chain of events from the growing of the trees, harvesting, piling and finally processing of the cinnamon in the aroma filled factory. Understand the history behind this precious spice and where it is headed in the realm of Sri Lanka’s export priorities. Furthermore, if you have worked up an appetite after a wealth of experience which you had gathered through your walk among the plantations, book yourself in for a carefully curated 4-course Cinnamon infused lunch (with a supplement) that lets you experience the true potential of the spice applied to food. Choose between Asian & Western cinnamon inspired cuisine prepared by our experienced chefs.
