Cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) is an evergreen tree that is native to Burma and China. Cassia is commonly called Chinese cinnamon, and it does share some characteristics with cinnamon. They are both from the same botanical family and have a spicy, warm smell. However, Cassia is sweeter than cinnamon.
Cassia features in folklore medicine often. It is even included in the Bible with Myrrh, Frankincense, and other oils and herbs.
