Penzey's is good. I'm surprized that noone in Europe does good
spices.

If you're planning a trip to the US, check the Penzey's website and
see if they have a store near where you'll be visiting. It's almost
worth the trip just to have the chance to smell the difference between
the various types of cinnamon, etc.

The Penzey's Vietnamese cinnamon is fantastic.

I've visited the US from the UK I've purchased cinnamon from Cinnabon
shops in airports, but I know I can get better.

This site is tempting as I like the idea of their French Toast cinnamon

Penzey's Vietnamese is the absolute best cinnamon. I love it and use it
every day, in coffee and tea, and use it often on toast, in apple butter,
apple pie/crisp, chocolate soufflé, etc. It's strong, and spicy and sweet
and so much better than that tasteless junk they sell in the supermarket.

Agreed. It has made _such_ a difference in baked goods in our house,
particularly apple pie. (And it's getting to be that time of year again!)
Regular store-bought cinnamon is a pale shadow in comparison, it tastes more
like stale dust than anything else to us now. So far, we have the China
Cassia and the Vietnamese Extra-Fancy, haven't tried the others yet. I like
the China Cassia for its spiciness in particular, a sprinkle in hot cocoa is
wonderful on a cold day...

Thanks for the two alternative sites for spices. After my last order from
Penzey's, I was looking for an alternative source.

Any particular reason? Price? Quality? Selection?

My favorite online spice shop is:

http://www.thespicehouse.com/

They have *wonderful* spices! I have several of their cinnamons ... I
think my favorite is the China Cassia; it has a spicy, citrusy flavor
that adds a nice depth to baked goods. Their cinnamon page is at:

Last winter I ordered a selection of dried chiles from them and ground a
mixture for chili. It was amazing how much better it was than the
pre-mixed grocery store chili powder and the chili was awesome.

If you shop at Costco or BJ's, they have MCCormack's Gourmet Selection of
"Saigon Cinnamon." I use it, as well as I have Penzey's Vietnamese.
I use it daily on oatmeal.
