More likely the manufacturers and supermarkets are using the 'trade wars' to camouflage their price gouging practices. BR |

Valdemort has been orchestrating a trade war with Canada for the last year, resulting in retaliatory tariffs from Canada on all sorts of things, including US coffee. Now Peet's or even Starbucks would have been the last choice for Canada to throw tariffs on, given that both have headquarters in Democratic states, but apparently some major coffee exporters from the US are in red states. Thus, huge tariffs on US coffee.

I find it a 'heavier' version of the regular PC/Islay -- much peatier, with broad hints of salt alongside heather/fruit notes -- a very complex palate The finish is peat, with perhaps some chocolate hints ... Still tasting ... |
