Malaysian White Coffee Flavor Characteristics and Ingredient Differences: A Comprehensive Analysis from Its Ipoh Origins to Health Benefits

White coffee is a highly representative traditional specialty of Malaysia, with a history spanning over a century. It is not white in color; rather, it is made from three types of coffee beans—Liberica, Arabica, and Robusta—subjected to medium-light low-temperature roasting and special processing that greatly reduces caffeine, burnt bitterness, and astringency, resulting in a pale milky-golden hue and a mellow, gentle flavor.
