this is 【kenya】thungri aa, a washed kenya from passage coffee.

this coffee is grown in nyeri, kenya, and processed using the washed method, meaning the fruit is removed before the beans are dried. aa is a kenyan grading term indicating larger, denser beans selected by screen size.
filter brewing methods such as pour-over or aeropress suit washed kenyan coffees well, as they preserve the clean acidity and clarity that the process produces. avoid overly high brew temperatures that can push bitterness in bright coffees.
you're on shiba's quieter back streets in minato, where the office blocks thin out and the foot traffic slows to something more human. passage coffee sits here, a specialty roaster doing its own thing in a neighborhood that doesn't particularly cater to tourists. if you're coming from shibaura or cutting through from mita, it's a detour worth making. the local following is real and consistent, which in tokyo's densely competitive specialty scene means something. roasting in-house puts the sourcing decisions directly in the hands of the people making your cup, so there's no middleman softening the edges of what ends up in your glass. mornings are a good bet, before the lunch crowd shifts the rhythm of shiba's streets entirely.
