【Note】
Mr. Anada's recommendation at the time. This may be Andean Condor from Takengon Boyanaca.  Unfortunately, there were no specific information available besides country origin.  "Tampopo", the cafe managed by Mr. Anada, has been there for 39yrs as a nice neighbor food coffee shop, so it might be the reason there are no specific beans' information listed.  However, Mr. Anada, the owner/master roaster, often travels to coffee estates around the world and pours cups with highly selected beans.
