On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

OK, let’s talk TARIFFS (on CHAI) ~ we know you’re exhausted by hearing about this ridiculously self-imposed & stressful subject. So unless this drama blows over, which seems unlikely, , , we’d like to keep you informed on what this means for JOZE CHAI. It will mean something, but of course, as you are, we are waiting to see exactly WHAT. Please know Joze will NOT RAISE CHAI PRICES unless our supplies become more expensive. Here’s what we know so far:

1st: Our primary ingredient is LOCAL organic honey ~ YES that supply chain is SAFE & STABLE !

2nd: We visited our loyal SPICE distributor yesterday. He was very pleased to let us know he has NOT raised his prices of any INVENTORY that is IN STOCK (cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon ). He has enough inventory of our chai spices for one more large purchase within the next few weeks. We will stock up one more time in May. After that he expects there would be increases.

3rd: Organic Fresh Ginger ~ from Peru ~ there was a glitch this week, but it DID ARRIVE, just a few days late. The buyer does NOT KNOW if this delay was tariff-related. But Peru is definitely on the global list. So these prices will likely go up.

Tariffs WILL likely be a REALITY for our AWARD-WINNING CHAI ~ as our suppliers’ sell out of pre-tariff stock. Our distributor says “it’s not just a direct 10% from NON-China countries ~> It’s every layer of the supply chain adding on their own fear-based sur-charges/tariffs ~ which stand to make this chaos more painful” :-€

Will keep you informed:: check Joze page for any important updates, or ask us how things are going supply-wise around MID - MAY.
AGAIN:: Joze will NOT RAISE CHAI PRICES unless our supplies become more expensive. ❤️‍🩹🌿🙏

💜🌿 We LOVE YOU & are so GRATEFUL for your LOYALTY to our amazing India Joze CHAI 💜🙏
