Sri Wijaya
Ceylon cinnamon(Cinnamomum verum)
Flavor Profile
Milder, more complex bark aroma than Sri Gemunu: bark oil contains roughly 50% cinnamaldehyde (~50.2% reported) with notably higher eugenol (~15%), cinnamyl acetate (~10%) and benzyl benzoate (~10%), giving a more clove-like, spicy-warm character; leaf oil is eugenol-dominant.
Visual Characteristics
Distinguished from Sri Gemunu by its 'Type B' flower structure; bark color, surface texture, bark odor and leaf morphology (shape, venation, apex, size) are used to differentiate DEA accessions.
Growing Tips
A commercial variety recommended by the Cinnamon Research Centre; under good agricultural practices, quill yields of up to roughly 600 kg per acre are reported. Interplanting with the Type A cultivar Sri Gemunu supports cross-pollination.
