Cinnamon
Our organic cinnamon is cut-and-sifted cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) — the bold, familiar cinnamon most of us grew up with. Deeper and more pungent than delicate Ceylon, it brings a strong, sweet-spicy warmth and a rich reddish-brown colour to everything it touches. Cut into small pieces, it's ready to work: steep it on its own for a warming, caffeine-free cup or add it to chai, black tea and fruit or rooibos blends for depth and natural sweetness. In the kitchen it's just as at home, simmered into mulled cider and syrups, stirred into oatmeal and baking, or added to savoury dishes and spice rubs. Its sweet, woody aroma is the smell of comfort itself.

On the Finer Side Of Dragons
According to legend, the very first dragon appeared to the mythical emperor Fu-Shi in order to right several wrongs that had occurred at the hands of the monster Kung Kung. He was said to have rent a huge hole in the sky, and was a terrible presence who had to be stopped. Luckily the dragon filled in the hole and set the tone for how the world would function for the rest of time. The rhythms by which it lived its life – sleeping, waking, breathing, eating, flying – resulted in the creation of day and night, seasons and weather, and all the familiar patterns we recognize today.
