Our peelers learned from their mothers, who learned from theirs. The knife hasn’t changed. The bark hasn’t changed. What’s changed is who gets to taste it.

Est. 2018 · Galle District

From the Bentara
River Valley

This land has grown cinnamon for as long as anyone remembers. The old trees were already here when we took over — we expanded the estate and formalised the operation, but the cinnamon came first. The Bentara River runs along the eastern edge. The soil knows what it’s doing.

About twenty people work these 37 acres across two estates — a small year-round team, joined at harvest by skilled seasonal peelers. Roughly ninety percent of the processing is done by hand. Shade-dried on mats beside the river. Graded by peelers whose families have done this work for generations.
