Pickwick Sterrenmunt Liquorice Mint herbal tea

Pickwick is a classic tea brand with a rich history originating in the Netherlands. It was founded in 1937 by Douwe Egberts, a company that has been a staple in the Dutch coffee and tea market since 1753. The brand name 'Pickwick' was inspired by Charles Dickens' first novel, The Pickwick Papers, suggesting a sense of traditional British tea culture despite its Dutch roots. This specific 'Sterrenmunt' or Liquorice Mint variety is an herbal infusion that is caffeine-free and made with natural ingredients.

While the raw herbal ingredients are sourced globally, the final production, blending, and packaging primarily take place in the Netherlands, specifically at the JDE Peet's facilities in Utrecht. The brand is now part of the global portfolio of JDE Peet's, which was formed following the merger of Jacobs Douwe Egberts and Peet's Coffee. Today, JDE Peet's is one of the world's largest pure-play coffee and tea companies, headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and listed on the Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange. Control of the company is largely held by JAB Holding Company, a major investment conglomerate based in Luxembourg.
