Cinnamon is an evergreen tree in the family Lauraceae. We often use cinnamon in daily life. In Chinese cooking, cinnamon is frequently used when stewing meat, and it has the effect of removing unpleasant odors. In Western cooking its use is even broader; cinnamon powder is often added to coffee or tea as a seasoning. Cinnamon powder tastes sweet with a slight astringency, has a mild pungency and contains a refreshing aroma.
