Here's a more detailed description:

Botanical Description:

• Cinnamon trees are evergreen and belong to the laurel family (Lauraceae).
• The bark is harvested from young branches after about 2-3 years of growth. 
• The outer bark is scraped off, and the inner bark is stripped and dried, where it curls into quills. 
• The leaves are ovate-oblong, glossy, and can be red when young, turning green with age. 
• The flowers are small and yellowish or greenish-white. 
• The fruit is a round, brown or black berry. 

Flavor and Aroma:

• Cinnamon has a warm, sweet, and spicy flavor with a subtle citrusy note. 
• The aroma is fragrant and woody, with a distinctive, pungent smell due to the essential oil. 
• The main component of the essential oil is cinnamaldehyde, which contributes to both the flavor and aroma. 
• Other components, like eugenol, also play a role in the overall flavor profile.
