Organic Korintje Cinnamon Powder, Cinnamomum burmannii, is also called korintje cinnamon, bulk cinnamon powder, organic cinnamon bark powder or Indonesian cinnamon. This is the type of cinnamon that is most commonly found on US supermarket shelves. It delivers cozy, familiar flavor at a relatively low cost. It contains approximately 2-3% essential oil.

The odd name for this cinnamon is derived from the Kerinci Regency, a region on Sumatra that Dutch colonizers realized was great for cinnamon trees. In the Dutch language, Kerinci became Korintje and the cinnamon from this region has carried this name to this day. 

Cassia cinnamon is native to Southern China. The dried scented bark of Cassia cinnamon is sold as whole sticks (also called "quills"), chips or the most common form which is ground. 

Businesses that frequently purchase Organic Korintje Cinnamon Powder are Mexican and Mediterranean restaurants; independent spice shops; breweries; seasoning companies; and companies who manufacture chocolates, CBD, granola and jams.
