Much of the coffee bought in Canada is sourced through U.S. middlemen and so is subject to tariffs.

    No, it will affect us. Not massively, but it will, since now the producers will have to divide their shipments to route around the US. This will add to extra shipping since they benefit less from bulk.

    In addition, while we’ll cut out the US middlemen, there’ll likely be a Canadian middleman taking their place to do distribution on a more local level, negating any cost savings from removing a step from the process.

    Still a minor logistics issue, but one that’ll likely take several months at least to resolve that’ll land us with a few points higher in cost.
