The best middle-men in this situation are the ones sidestepping the tariffs entirely.

Not like Colombia doesn't already have a rich history of smuggling high-demand US contraband over the border, but it will be weird to start getting all my coffee shipped by way of Langley.

Even weirder when they start packing coffee in cocaine to throw off the dogs.
