Native to Southeast Asia, most notably Sri Lanka, cinnamon leaf is originates from the evergreen cinnamon tree.

Although the inner bark features the most renowned essential oil derived from the plant, its waxy green foliage, along with twigs, is the source of another separate oil. Bearing warm and earthy spiciness, cinnamon leaf essential oil is different from its cinnamon bark counterpart in that it is relatively milder and subtly clove-like.
