Cassia cinnamon barks used to make gyepi-cha

Gyepi-cha (계피차; 桂皮茶; "cinnamon tea") is a traditional Korean tea made from cassia cinnamon barks.[3] Thicker sticks of cinnamon with purplish-red cross-section and strong fragrance are used.[3] Dried cinnamon sticks are simmered either whole or sliced with a small amount of ginger.[1] When served, the tea is strained and optionally sweetened with sugar or honey, and then is usually garnished with minced jujubes.[1][3]
