We cannot grow our own coffee in the United States.

We need to depend on the tropics in order for this growth.

And the primary countries of actual growth is Brazil.

Yeah, and right now there's a 50% tariff on coffee from Brazil.

That's the nation's biggest coffee supplier, and it's Joe Coffee's biggest supplier.

Take a look at this bag right here.

The container that that bag came in is costing this New York coffee shop and roaster $68,000 more than it did over the summer.

We spoke to some coffee drinkers about the higher prices.

Watch what they had to say.

Sir Varni will not buy coffee out.
