1. Introduction: Why Cut Format Matters in Bulk Cassia Trade

In the global cinnamon trade, choosing the right cassia format isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about extraction performance, blending speed, and maximizing your return per ton.

That’s why smart importers are switching from stick cassia to broken cassia—especially for large-scale manufacturing and industrial use.

2. Reason #1: Faster Infusion and Extraction

Broken cassia exposes more surface area per kilogram, accelerating:

• Hot water infusion in teas and beverages
• Steam distillation for essential oils
• Alcohol-based extraction for flavor essences

This reduces processing time and increases throughput in spice and extract factories.

3. Reason #2: Higher Yield in Essential Oil Processing

Tinimex broken cassia averages 2.5–3.0% VO (volatile oil). The fine, fragmented surface boosts:

• Oil extraction efficiency
• Aroma strength per liter
• Yield per distillation cycle

4. Reason #3: Easier Blending in Spice Formulations

Whether you’re making:

• Garam masala
• Five spice blend
• Meat rubs or curry powder

…broken cassia integrates better with powdered and granular ingredients, avoiding the need for pre-crushing stick bark.

5. Reason #4: Cost Savings on Freight and Packing

Stick bark wastes space due to curl and rigidity. In contrast, broken cassia:

• Packs denser in cartons (more kg/m³)
• Requires fewer cartons per ton
• Lowers total freight per kilogram exported

6. Reason #5: Consistency in Cut Size and Moisture Control

Tinimex broken cassia is:

• Graded to 2–8 cm length
• Moisture controlled at 10–12%
• Free from dust, mold, and oversized bark

This ensures fewer surprises at customs inspection and better batch uniformity for end-use production.

7. Reason #6: Better Storage and Handling

Compared to fragile stick cassia, our broken format:

• Has lower breakage during handling
• Is easier to scoop, measure, and transport in factories
• Stores more compactly in warehouse racks

8. Reason #7: Competitive Pricing Without Compromising Quality

Since sticks are more costly to process and grade, they carry a price premium. Broken cassia offers:

• Lower per-ton cost
• Same oil content and aroma
• Excellent performance in all industrial formats

When every dollar matters in food and spice manufacturing, broken cassia delivers cost-efficiency and consistency.
