 I'm shocked I got it all! 😁

Why do you recommend only that kind of cinnamon?  
 Apparently too much of the other one (Cassia cinnamon - from China) contains coumarin, which can be toxic. In rodents, coumarin is known to cause kidney, liver and lung damage. Many people like it more because it has a stronger, spicier flavor… and a few times won’t kill you, but I imagine if you are drinking this tea often it could build up and become toxic. 
 Thank you for the warning! I had no idea about that. Now I need to knew where all the cinnamon in some of my favorite teas is sourced. 😅 It is still better to know. Thank you, Duchess!  
 I would guess most is the cinnamon from China 🇨🇳😣 it’s yummy, but yeah, best not to have daily. I’m happy that I was able to pass some information down. 
 You are always a source of good knowledge and experience. Thank you again. 😁
