Cinnamon Myrtle

Cinnamon Myrtle ( Backhousia myrtifolia) is a lovely rainforest tree that has cream flowers and cinnamon-scented leaves. Warndu's Australian Native Cinnamon Myrtle comes dried and ground ready for your cooking and baking. Use it in the place of traditional cinnamon wherever you can, through use a little less as it's much stronger in flavour.  

The leaves are dried and we have tea grade flakes and ground options, depending on what is available.

      Cinnamon Myrtle can also be found in our delicious Wild Chai Latte powder.

      Our products are all made in Australia from 100% locally sourced, seasonal and wild harvested produce.

      Warndu means good in the Adnyamathanha language. 

      Our mission is to REGENERATE culture, community, tradition, health and our soils. Every product we make includes one or more Australian Native ingredients. 

      In our efforts to be zero waste and plastic free, and with the changes to recycling in Australia, we will be phasing out all plastic bags. For now you may receive your spices, teas and home products in either black, white or clear plastic, and once that is all gone our amazing new compostable plant-based packaging will be what you will receive products in.
      Thanks for your patience and understanding whilst we endeavour to tread lightly on your yarta (land).

      To maintain Warndu taste we keep smaller quantities on hand of our Australian Natives, it takes us a little while to dry, roast or grind them to make. We aim to send all orders within ten days of receiving them.
