The two main varieties of cinnamon are Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum or verum) from Sri Lanka and Cassia cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) from China.
When selecting the best variety, you must keep an eye on coumarin, a substance that can damage the liver.
Cinnamom Cassia has a high concentration of coumarin, whilst cinnamom Ceylon only contains traces of this substance.
There are several grades of cinnamom Ceylon. Here’s the list from the highest quality (and price) to the lowest:
