Our Story

Cinnova is more than a brand – it is a story of passion, connection, and purpose. Founded in 2023 when Gayan and his family made Finland their new home, Cinnova was inspired by his deep love for Sri Lanka and his desire to give back to the farming communities he grew up around. With a background as a professional marketer and a gift for building meaningful relationships, Gayan chose the path of entrepreneurship to create a bridge between Sri Lanka’s rich heritage and Europe’s vibrant markets.
Built through partnerships with small-scale Sri Lankan farmers, Cinnova infuses culture, tradition, and authenticity into every spice and herb we offer carefully grown, handpicked, and delivered fresh to your table.
