Cinnamon Peeling & Toddy Tapping experience

Cinnamon Peeling & Toddy Tapping experience - Cinnamon Bentota Beach ~

Cinnamon is endemic to Sri Lanka and it was discovered in our island by the Portuguese. Over time, cinnamon cultivation and export became one of our prime assets as Sri Lanka produces 90% of the world’s supply of true cinnamon. This spice is used in savoury foods, has a fragrant aroma, is incredibly beneficial for health, and frequently used in traditional Ayurveda remedies. Cinnamon cultivation is a unique and scarcely known process. It is truly a one-of-a-kind experience that is both interesting and authentic. While you are visiting the cinnamon factory, you will see the cinnamon peelers at work. Sometimes the entire family gets involved! You will learn about the uses and healing properties of cinnamon and its grading process. As a special treat, a cinnamon tea tasting session can be arranged upon request.
