SKU: CASSIA

Description

Cassia Essential Oil has a warm spicy and earthy aroma, similar to cinnamon and red hot candies! Our Cassia oil is steam distilled from the bark of the Chinese Cinnamon tree. Cassia Essential Oil is a wonderful addition to warm, seasonal blends during the winter months. Its potency can ensure that a little goes a long way.

Cassia Essential Oil closely resembles Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil and is widely used as a more economical substitute for its more expensive cousin. Often times the cinnamon sticks we buy in the store are the Cassia variety of Cinnamomum and it tends to have a sharp, spicy-sweet smell and flavor.
