Coffee is a staple in the American economy, but coffee-shop coffee items are a luxury, albeit one that is bought by a fair number of Americans. Luxuries, especially imported luxuries, should expect to be impacted by tariffs.

(And I’m not immune: as a “chajin” I’ve been drinking matcha for four decades, since long before it became cool. I fully expect to have to pony up more yen for the green stuff.)

Coffee is a staple in the American economy,

As long as Starbucks and its overpriced burnt swill they call coffee are still in business, coffee is not too expensive. ;~(.
