The history of Douwe Egberts starts in 1753, when a husband and wife opened The White Ox, a gourmet shop, in the North of Holland. Their offerings focused on coffee, tea and tobacco-- products that were imported from the Far East and traded in Amsterdam. Sales grew rapidly and soon Douwe Egberts started a wholesaling and distribution business. They built their first coffee roasting plant in 1919 and began exporting their premium quality coffee in 1930. By 1960, Douwe Egberts accounted for more than half of Dutch coffee exports. Few coffees can match the heady power and richness of this popular blend. |

The French first used chicory in their coffee during their Civil War, when coffee was scarce. The addition of chicory, the roasted root of the endive plant, not only made their coffee last longer, it also softened the coffee's bitterness and gave it a chocolaty flavor. The custom of blending coffee and chicory outlived the war and migrated to the area around Lafayette, Louisiana with the Acadians. Available at the world-famous Café du Monde in New Orleans since the 1860's, it is best enjoyed either black or "au lait" (half coffee and half steamed milk). Varieties sold separately. |

The Irish poet Brendan Kennelly once described Bewley's Café in Grafton Street as the 'heart and the hearth of Dublin'. Dublin, he said, would not be Dublin without Bewley's. These sentiments have been echoed by generations of Irish people since Joshua Bewley first introduced tea to the Irish public in 1835. Today, Bewley's is still best known for its select high street cafés throughout Ireland.
Bewley's have been importing and roasting the finest coffees since the beginning of the 1900s and as the market leaders in Ireland, are unrivalled when it comes to superior quality coffees. Bewley's ground Arabica coffee is flavored with another Dublin specialty, Irish Crème, which gives their coffee a lovely aroma and flavor.
