Cassia Bark

It’s main role in our gin is to provide the warm spice notes to Greenall’s gin

The cassia bark, Cinnamomum aromaticum, synonym C. cassia is an evergreen tree native to southern China, Bangladesh, India, and Vietnam. Like its close relative, cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum, also known as “true cinnamon” or “Ceylon cinnamon”), it is primarily used for its aromatic bark, which is used as a spice, often under the culinary name of “cinnamon”. The buds are also used as a spice, especially in India, and were once used by the ancient Romans. Cassia (called ròu gùi; 肉桂 in Chinese) is used in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is considered one of the 50 fundamental herbs.
