Discover the rich history of Douwe Egberts, a Dutch company processing and selling coffee, tea, and other products since 1753. In 1978, the company was acquired by the American Sara Lee, but in 2012, it regained its independence and went public as D.E. Master Blenders 1753 NV. In 2013, the company was purchased by a German investor after a successful bid for all shares.

Pickwick, the beloved tea brand of Douwe Egberts, has a rich history dating back to 1937. Before that time, the company had been selling unbranded tea since 1753 from a shop in the Midstraat in Joure. The name Pickwick was inspired by Charles Dickens' book 'The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club,' proposed by the wife of Douwe Egberts' then-director. Experience the timeless elegance and rich tradition with this beautiful tea tin, a valuable addition for lovers of nostalgia and tea.
