Hard to not have some political feelings about this when these are all brought to bear because of deranged political stunts.
Since this was just enacted over the last few days, I don’t think we’ll see price increases so soon. Give it a month, and then when the price of food skyrockets it will be hard to tell if it’s because there are no more laborers to actually work the fields or if it’s tariffs, or both! Por que no los dos, verdad?
Immediate casualty though is that one of the popular online Chinese tea stores that exports to many tea connoisseurs in the US has announced they still stop shipping to the US due to the tariffs. Such a shame, as they were a popular option for good Chinese tea, but with reasonable prices. If you are a tea fan and loved loose-leaf Chinese teas, this will be painful.
