Have you ever wondered where cinnamon comes from or how it grows? Greg and I traveled to Sri Lanka and were lucky to visit a cinnamon plantation to find out! Not only did we discover how cinnamon is grown and harvested, but we also learned how cinnamon leaves can be used to make cinnamon leaf oil!

Thank you so much to Rupert and all the workers at Top House in Weligama, Sri Lanka. We had a brilliant afternoon exploring the plantation, meeting the team, and learning all there is to know about cinnamon. https://www.tophouse.lk/
