What is white coffee?

Perhaps you’ve seen it marketed at hipster coffee shops as the latest health fad or the best way to reach peak caffeine. Read on to find out what this drink is really about, and whether you should consider trading in your regular dark cup of joe.

White Coffee is coffee beans that have been slow roasted half of the way, it has WAY more caffeine than regular coffee and a very unusual taste that might take some getting used to.

  • HOW ITS MADE: White Coffee is made by roasting coffee beans at a lower temperature and for half of the time that regular coffee is roasted. White Coffee is half-baked! To be more specific, White Coffee is roasted to around 325 Degrees whereas fully roasted coffee is roasted to anywhere from 450 Degrees to 480 Degrees.
  • BENEFITS OF WHITE COFFEE: White Coffee has up 50% more caffeine than fully-roasted coffee. It has a very nutty flavor that blends well with all the same creamers and flavors that fully-roasted coffee does. Some people report that White Coffee has a bolder coffee flavor than black coffee. In addition to the ‘lift’ in caffeine, White Coffee is less acidic and retains more antioxidants.
  • Extremely lightly roasted coffee, This 'white coffee' Blend is comprised of 100% Arabica coffee beans
    It offers a distinct nutty, light bodied, high caffeine coffee experience
    Hand roasted for just enough time to achieve the desired nutty flavor when brewed. Positively different than traditional dark roasted coffee.
    Because of shorter roasting times, white coffee beans are much denser than traditional roasted coffee and would likely break an average household grinder. We use a special grinder to produce the desired consistency to maximize the flavor and caffeine of the coffee.
    While called “white” coffee, the roasted beans are actually a light tan in color and the brewed coffee will have a light brown hue. Non-coffee drinkers will likely find the taste appealing!
    If used for espresso, we recommend pulling and discarding the first shots (they will pour quickly) and using the second batch of shots for a fuller, smoother tasting flavor.
     

White coffee might be the latest trend, but it actually has a long history originating in the Middle East.

It has nothing to do with the addition of whiteners like milk or cream and should not be confused with the flat white; instead, it refers to an extremely light roast, which all started in Yemen. So light, that the beans don’t even adopt the characteristic dark brown of traditionally roasted coffee.

The beans for this specialty coffee are roasted (1) at around 325 F as opposed to 450 to 480 F for standard light to dark roasts. As a result, they are extremely hard, and must be ground using specialized commercial grinders. Once brewed, the resultant cup of java is a pale beige color

What To Expect (Taste)

The taste of white coffee (2) is most often described as nutty, with a pronounced acidity and very low bitterness. These characteristics are derived from the minimal roasting time.

The beans’ natural sugars are not caramelized so there is no bitter aftertaste, and the organic acids present in the beans do not evaporate, producing the brightly acidic flavor.

Typically, light roasts are used to highlight the subtle characteristics of single origin beans and this feature is further enhanced by an extremely light roast.

The choice of bean will have a significant impact on the final product and this roasting method is a great way to experience the nuances of beans from different regions.

In Yemen, where the beverage originated, it was traditionally served flavored with a spice mix known as hawaij, a practice still common in many coffee shops today.

Hawaij is most often made up of cumin, black pepper, turmeric and cardamom, but numerous variations exist. It is this mixture, paired with the nuttiness of the brew, that makes white coffee so delicious.

Does It Have More Caffeine Than Regular Coffee?

Many shops offering this pale coffee market it as having a much more caffeine than darker roasts. While caffeine content does decrease slightly with roasting time, there is little scientific support for the decrease to be significant. 

If you’re looking for a highly caffeinated brew, you’re better off seeking a particular bean rather than an especially light roast.

Is It Better For You Than Black Coffee?

White roast coffee is regularly marketed as a health elixir thanks to its low roasting temperature. Proponents claim that the light roast leads to a greater quantity of chlorogenic acid (3), an antioxidant molecule which protects against cardiovascular disease and decreases inflammation. This is certainly true, but not to the extent that it is worth switching from black coffee if you don’t actually enjoy the drink.

How Do You Drink It?

Ironically, this white-colored drink is most often consumed “black”, that is, without the addition of milk or cream. Many fans suggest adding almond milk, which pairs particularly well with the already nutty flavor profile of the beverage.
