Cinnamon Myrtle Flakes — Australian Native Backhousia myrtifolia

100% Cinnamon Myrtle Flakes (Backhousia myrtifolia) — a uniquely Australian native aromatic herb from the rainforests of south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales. Cinnamon Myrtle is a member of the Myrtaceae family — the same botanical family as Lemon Myrtle and Aniseed Myrtle — and like its relatives, the culinary and aromatic character comes primarily from its essential oil-rich leaves. The dominant compound in Cinnamon Myrtle is methyl cinnamate, which gives the leaves their characteristic warm, sweet, cinnamon-like aroma and flavour with subtle spicy depth. Unlike true cinnamon (Cinnamomum species), Cinnamon Myrtle is a leaf rather than bark, and its flavour profile is softer and sweeter — more reminiscent of a blend of cinnamon and clove with a eucalyptus-like freshness underneath.

Naturally caffeine-free. No known allergens. Available in 50g, 250g, 500g, 1kg, and 5kg bulk. Suitable for teas, culinary applications, herbal blends, native food products, and flavoured beverage formulations. This product is sold as a food only.

Cinnamon Myrtle Flakes — FAQs

Everything you need to know before you order.

Cinnamon Myrtle (Backhousia myrtifolia) is an Australian native rainforest tree in the Myrtaceae family, native to the subtropical rainforests of south-east Queensland and northern NSW. It is botanically unrelated to true cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum or Cinnamomum cassia) — true cinnamon is harvested from the bark of a Sri Lankan tree, while Cinnamon Myrtle's aromatic properties come from its essential oil-rich leaves, which contain primarily methyl cinnamate — the same compound that gives cinnamon basil its character. The flavour is warm and sweet like cinnamon but softer, with subtle floral and spicy notes. It grows naturally alongside other Backhousia species including Lemon Myrtle (B. citriodora) and Aniseed Myrtle (Syzygium anisatum) in the same rainforest ecosystems.
The dominant character is warm, sweet, and aromatic with a cinnamon-like quality — soft and rounded rather than sharp or pungent like Sri Lankan cinnamon. There are subtle undertones of clove and nutmeg with a faint, clean eucalyptus-like freshness that is characteristic of many Myrtaceae species. As a tea it produces a pale, golden brew that is fragrant and warming without bitterness. In culinary applications it behaves similarly to cinnamon but with a lighter, more floral quality that works particularly well in baked goods, warm beverages, and sweet spice blends.
As a tea: Add 1–2 teaspoons to a cup of boiling water, steep for 5–10 minutes, and strain. The flakes produce a fragrant, warming infusion. Culinary use: Sprinkle into baked goods (cakes, biscuits, muffins), stews, tagines, and slow-cooked dishes in place of or alongside cinnamon. Use in spice rubs for lamb and chicken. Infuse into cream, custard, or milk for desserts. Beverage blends: Incorporate into herbal tea blends, chai-style spice mixes, mulled wine, and warm cocktails. Native food applications: A natural in native Australian food product ranges — pairs well with Lemon Myrtle, Wattleseed, and native pepperberries in both sweet and savoury applications.
All three are Australian native Myrtaceae aromatic herbs from the same subtropical rainforest ecosystems, each with a distinct essential oil profile. Lemon Myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) is dominated by citral — intensely pure lemon with no actual lemon in it — and is the most commercially well-known of the three. Aniseed Myrtle (Syzygium anisatum) is dominated by anethole, giving it a sweet, licorice-anise character. Cinnamon Myrtle is dominated by methyl cinnamate — the warm, sweet, cinnamon-spice note. Together they represent the warm, citrus, and anise flavour pillars of the Australian native myrtle family and are frequently blended or used complementarily in native food product development.
No — Cinnamon Myrtle is naturally caffeine-free. It is a leaf herb, not a tea plant, and contains no caffeine, theobromine, or related compounds. It is a suitable all-day, any-time beverage choice for those avoiding caffeine.
