What is "white"?
White coffee is a type of coffee that is made by roasting coffee beans at a lower temperature and for a shorter period of time than traditional dark roast coffee. This results in a coffee that is lighter in color and has a milder, less bitter taste than dark roast coffee. White coffee is often served with milk or cream, which can enhance its smooth and creamy flavor. The milk or cream also helps to balance the acidity of the coffee, making it a popular choice for those with sensitive stomachs. While white coffee is less common than traditional dark roast coffee, it has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique flavor profile and lower caffeine content. White coffee can be prepared using a variety of brewing methods, including drip, French press, and pour-over, and can be customized with different milk or cream options to suit individual tastes.
