      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.
