The Ceylon Cinnamon Grading System

Ceylon cinnamon grading is based principally on quill diameter, appearance and quill quality, producing the familiar Alba, Continental, Mexican and Hamburg categories with numbered sub-grades beneath them.

This guide sets out each grade with its specification, explains the C5, C4, M5 and H1 notation, and covers how grade relates to flavour, price and end application.
