PT BUMI GAGAH SERASI
About Us
PT BUMI GAGAH SERASI is the Farming and the Cinnamon Processing Exporting Company set-up in Kerinci Sumatra.
The fertile soils of the slopes of the Kerinci high valley are very suitable for growing Cassia Trees since it grows best at an altitude of between 800 to 1,500 meters. A tree needs to be at least 10 years old before it can be harvested. Barks from younger trees are used to produce cinnamon sticks (7cm etc.) while older ones (15 – 35 years) provide raw material for Broken & Clean and Cinnamon Powder. The older the tree, the higher the volatile oil (VO) in the bark. Higher VO results in stronger flavor.
The Indonesia Cassia is of the cinnamomum burmannii blum species. The botanical term is
“cassia vera”, while locally it is known as “kayu manis” (Indonesia) or “sweet wood”
