🏭 Manufacturer & history

Douwe Egberts was founded in 1753 in Joure by Egbert Douwes and Akke Thysses. What started as a small colonial goods store grew into one of the best-known coffee and tea brands in the Netherlands.

The storage jars themselves were manufactured by Cerva in Italy, recognizable by the marking with two deer on the underside.
