C5 vs C4 Cinnamon: Which Grade Should Importers Choose?
A practical choice framework for presentation, application, sampling and wholesale budgets.
01
Start with the shelf
If whole sticks are highly visible in clear retail packaging, C5 may justify its premium through finer, more uniform presentation.
02
Consider the application
C4 can be an effective commercial grade for mainstream retail and foodservice where authentic origin and flavour matter more than the finest diameter.
03
Make a sample-led decision
Compare representative samples in the intended pack, then record the approved appearance and tolerance in the purchase specification.
