The story

Cinnamon from the Mekong Delta

This cinnamon grows along the fertile banks of Vietnam's Mekong River, dried using traditional sun-drying methods. The result is a spice that brews into something genuinely warming rather than aggressively hot. Soft woody notes with a natural sweetness that lingers.

Unlike chai-style blends where cinnamon plays a supporting role, this is the whole show. One ingredient, one clear flavour. The amber infusion has a gentle spice that sits on the tongue without any sharpness, almost buttery. You get the aroma of a bakery first, then that clean cinnamon warmth follows.

It suits those evenings when you want something comforting but not caffeinated. After dinner, mid-afternoon when the energy dips, or wrapped up on the sofa with something to watch. Simple, focused, and genuinely cosy without needing milk or sugar to round it out.

Good questions

Things people ask us in the shop

Does Mekong Cinnamon contain caffeine?

No, this is naturally caffeine-free. It is pure cinnamon with nothing else added, so you can drink it any time of day or evening without worrying about keeping yourself awake.

Can I add milk to cinnamon tea?

You can, but it is best without. The natural sweetness and smooth spice come through more clearly on their own. If you do add milk, just a splash works better than a full pour.

How many cups will I get from a 50g pack?

Using one teaspoon (roughly 3g) per cup, a 50g pack gives you around 16 cups. The 100g pack stretches to about 33 cups.

How should I store it?

Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat, sunlight and strong aromas. Stored properly, it keeps its flavour well.

Can I blend it with other teas?

Absolutely. It adds warmth to black tea, works well with apple infusions, and can give a chai-style feel to a plain Assam. Start with a teaspoon alongside your usual brew and adjust to taste.
