I like both names, particularly Saffron and I don’t mind them for twins at all. I’d prefer Keziah to Cassia though.

I really like them individually and as twins! This set doesn't strike me as too themey for real twins. I think it's because Saffron is also a color and Cassia sounds so 'normal-namey'. (As opposed to something like Rosemary & Basil which would not work in real life.)

That kind of themed twin-naming is usually not a good idea, as it tends toward the cutesy, the forced or the cartoonish.
Saffron doesn't feel much like a name to me. I don't believe I've ever tasted it so I wouldn't even know if it was a spice I liked. Not real fond of the color either, at least not on me.

Cassia is kind of pretty. I actually know of one, she's probably forty now (and not a nice woman) and her name is pronounced CASS-ee-uh. I like this pronunciation better than cash-uh, which I suspect is probably the correct pronunciation of the spice.
I'm not a fan of spice names. Rosemary and Ginger aren't terrible, but Rosemary seems prim and kind of dull, and Ginger is too often a dog's or cat's name, and kind of needs a certain type of personality to carry it off, so should really only be a nn.
Basil as a man's name feels too stereotypically early 20th-century British upper-class.
Sage is a horse name, to me.

I really like both, but for twins it is a little cheesy.

Cassia is ok
