Douwe Egberts, founded in 1753, is a Dutch company specializing in coffee, tea, and other food products. From 1978, it became fully owned by the American company Sara Lee and continued independently as D.E. Master Blenders 1753 NV in 2012, eventually being fully acquired by a German investor in 2013. Pickwick, a tea brand of Douwe Egberts, dates back to 1937, but the company had been selling unbranded tea since 1753 from a shop in the Midstraat in Joure. Let this enchanting vintage tea tin from Douwe Egberts transport you to a time of stylish moments of enjoyment at a tea cottage by the water.
