The packaging only says "cinnamon" without other explanation. It says "for questions, you can write The Minister of Supply, P.O. Box 1589&lt; Novato, CA 94948-1589." There is some poetic reference to India on the packaging, but it pertains to the cardamom. About the cinnamon, it only says "derived from the bark of a small evergreen."

According to their website www.simplyorganic.com, NO. Their powdered "cinnamons" are either Cinnamomum burmannii or Cinnamomum loureirii which are considered cassia, not Cinnamomum verum or "Ceylon/True Cinnamon".

To me Ceylon tea does have a smokiness to it that might be described as somewhat like cinnamon. I'm not sure if it was all that strong. I'm not familiar with the aroma of chia. Sorry I can't be much help on this.

Organic cinnamon only, is the ingredient. This has a wonderful flavor, I use it in my tea. I highly recommend it

I have purchased this very package and have had no concerns about it. It is Ceylon Cinnamon and the flavor is mild and sweet unlike Cassia which is stronger and "hotter". The color is also lighter indicating that this is true cinnamon and not Cassia

I would say that it is just pleasantly sweet. I personally do not like sweet tea-the natural sweetness of this tea is not overpowering at all. It just enhances the cinnamon taste!

The regular (and cheaper) cinnamon variety contains coumarin which is a toxin. Ceylon is considered premium cinnamon.

I don't know anything about ceylon or cassia. The bottle says for ingredients, organic cinnamon. Certified organic by QAI. When I ordered it I though it was Saigon Cinnamon which I wanted for the flavor. My wife says, it was for her, it taste better than the Saigon. So I don't know about sweet or ceylon or cassia but I would say it is true cinnamon from my perspective. I hope this helps. We put it mostly in coffee but also in dishes and on a few other things.

It is "true" cinnamon, but not Ceylon. Cassia cinnamon is less expensive, and some doctors advise against it.

Ceylon cinnamon is also grown in southern India, Bangladesh, and Southeast Asia. Frontier doesn't specify the origins of it's Ceylon cinnamon.

I looked on the bottle and all it says is organic cinnamon. Sorry I couldn't help.

According to the label, the only cinnamon contained is cinnamonum verum, which is Ceylon cinnamon. I have used Swanson´s products for.20 years and trust the brand.

I copied this from their description on their website: Hot Cinnamon Spice is naturally sweet, Kosher, and caffeinated. People sometimes think we add sugar or sweeteners to this tea, BUT WE DO NOT. The sweetness comes from the cinnamon.

According to what I have read in different places on the web, the Ceylon cinnamon is supposed to have only trace amounts of coumarin, significantly less than Saigon and Cassia cinnamon. It would be nice if Frontier would include exact amounts on their label.

Nope, not to me. I also prefer a chai tea that isn't too cinnamon-y. The flavors that come through more than cinnamon to me are ginger and cardamom. (...and thanks for asking - I forgot I had this, will go enjoy a cup right now!) :)
