【Comment From Web】
"LECHE" means "milk" in Spanish.  I tasted with doubt, however the cup gave me smooth and mild impression like milk.  I questioned, "Who has the best coffee beans?"  This beans are worth trying.


【Impression】
Very strange.... 
Smooth, light texture and flat flavor w/o sourness.
Among any impression given , "Strange" came up as first comment...Sorry.
This cup needs to be selected when you get tired of Coffee but do not feel like drinking tea, water or anything else.  I prefer not to introduce this as "COFFEE", even no wonder this is.

"Honey Coffee ", so called, gains its popularity and often shows up in cupping as well as COE.   Unfortunately, not good enough acknowledged, the world of HONEY coffee has turned as the wonderland.
