It’ll rise with the rest, or does anyone believe a premium brand would just omit a general price increase among virtually all competitors and become a brand anyone can afford? Especially since Hawaiian coffee is majorly limited in supply.
Kauai Coffee is a relatively large operation that exports to the continental US and is more like $9 retail (and perpetually on sale for $7.50 or so) for a 10oz bag in the grocery store.
It’s not cheap coffee, but it’s certainly not top of the line priced coffee.
They do make some coffees that are more than $25/lb, but not the "regular* stuff people would buy in a store.
Of course I agree that their price will go up with the market with tariffs introduced, and that in general the tariffs are a terrible, terrible idea.
Lived in Hawaii most of my life: the big name coffees from here are terrible and only have that insane price because it’s from Hawaii. Though there are some small local roasters here
Hawaiian coffee is $25 a pound, at least it was when I bought some there a few years ago
Soon that’ll be the cheapest you can get it
And that’s how tariffs work

Right, I’m saying $25 will be the floor for coffee that’s currently $6, not that $25 coffee will be unaffected by the market
Gotcha
until the demand for it skyrockets. then it’s either gone or just as expensive as all the tariffed coffee.
