        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.

        until the demand for it skyrockets. then it’s either gone or just as expensive as all the tariffed coffee.

      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

      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.
