From the heart of Ibaraki’s marron plantations, Cimarron D’Or crafts stories as rich as its flavour.

In early September 2024, Janat Paris visited the marron plantation and factory in Kasama, Ibaraki, led by gourmet expert Mayumi Satoi, a key partner in our Cimarron D’Or tea.

This transformed factory fills the air with a warm aroma. The team harvested Satoi Kuri marrons, essential to the blend, and gathered at Kasamarron café.

Over tea, stories and laughter deepened bonds through Cimarron D’Or, celebrating Janat’s commitment to exceptional flavoured teas.
