The Laskein Wild Cinnamon Story

In the ancient forests of Laskein, deep in Meghalaya's Jaintia Hills, Ribaitki Langstang continues what her grandmother started with a single cinnamon tree. That tree dropped its seeds, and over three generations the family has nurtured them into a small plantation, grown wild without pesticides, the way it has always been done here.

You'll taste the difference immediately: forest bark, sweet cedar, a hint of wild honey. Lab-tested at over 4x the volatile oil of standard cinnamon — this is what the spice was meant to be before industrial processing stripped it down.

How to Use

Laskein Wild Cinnamon
🥄 Amount ¼ tsp
🍳 Method Stir into hot drinks or sprinkle on food
💡 Tip A little goes a long way

Stir into your morning oatmeal or coffee for instant warmth. Add a pinch to chai with cardamom, or dust over baked apples and pastries. Works beautifully in savory dishes too: try it in Moroccan tagines, biryanis, or a slow-cooked stew.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our cinnamon isn't plantation-farmed. It's harvested from trees growing naturally in the ancient forests of Laskein in Meghalaya's Jaintia Hills. Indigenous foragers collect the bark in small batches, the same way it's been done for generations.
Volatile oil is the blend of aromatic compounds that give cinnamon its smell and flavor — cinnamaldehyde for warmth, eugenol for depth, linalool for floral sweetness. Our cinnamon tests at 2.17 ml/100g, over 4x the industry minimum of 0.5. Higher volatile oil means more fragrant, more flavorful cinnamon.
This is Cinnamomum tamala, native to the forests of Northeast India. It has a flavor profile distinct from both Ceylon and Cassia — more complex, with notes of forest bark, sweet cedar, and wild honey.
Yes. Every batch is tested by NCML Labs, a NABL-accredited facility in India. We screen for purity, microbiology, and heavy metals. No added colors, no fillers, no pesticide residues.
Most grocery store cinnamon is mass-produced Cassia from plantations, optimized for cost not flavor. Ours is wild-foraged, single-origin, and lab-tested at 4x the volatile oil content — you'll smell the difference the moment you open the jar.
Living Roots ships direct from Meghalaya farmers to the US. We're based in Sacramento with flat $3 shipping, free over $49.
Keep it sealed in a cool, dark cabinet away from heat and moisture. Volatile oils evaporate over time, so ground cinnamon is best used within 6-12 months for peak aroma and flavor.
It's versatile — elevate desserts, deepen curries and stews, stir into oatmeal, or add warmth to coffee and chai. A little goes a long way with this potency.
