    A 2022 article from the Coffee Chronicle, by Asser Christensen, detailed where they source their coffee, and the fact they purchase only 3% of the entire global coffee supply.  So, while tariffs could be a cost factor, Starbucks purchasing is spread across many countries not  assigned a severe tariff percentage.
