Cinnamon refers to the spice obtained from the bark of various species of trees in the laurel family that are distributed throughout Asia. Cassia cinnamon, also known as Chinese cinnamon, is original to southern China.
The small pieces are also convenient to handle when mixing spice blends for making mulled wines or pickled foods. Similarly, cinnamon chips can easily be added to tea blends without the need to grind the bark into a powder.
