Why Spice Company Burlap & Barrel Is Suing the President
"Burlap & Barrel's mission is to provide unique and incredibly flavorful ingredients by connecting global spice farmers with American cooks, both at home and in professional kitchens."
"The Supreme Court recently struck last April's tariffs down, but the administration immediately retaliated with new tariffs that begin at a shocking 10%."
"Burlap & Barrel's best-selling spices are grown only by smallholder farmers in other countries, under specific climate conditions unique to that place."
"Our spices are also often made with heirloom varietals, like our royal cinnamon, aka the rare Vietnamese species Cinnamomum loureiroi."
Burlap & Barrel, a social enterprise co-founded by Ethan Frisch and Ori Zohar, is suing the U.S. government due to tariffs imposed since 'Liberation Day.' These tariffs adversely affect small businesses and home cooks seeking unique spices without domestic alternatives. The Supreme Court recently struck down previous tariffs, but new tariffs starting at 10% have been introduced, threatening the company's existence and leading to potential price increases for consumers. Their spices are sourced from smallholder farmers and include unique heirloom varietals with no American-grown substitutes.
