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. Compared with black coffee, white coffee differs fundamentally in bean selection, roasting methods, and brewing techniques; it contains no trans fats, has lower caffeine and calories, is gentler on the stomach, and does not easily turn sour after cooling. This article will systematically outline the flavor components, processing characteristics, historical origins, health benefits, and brewing methods of white coffee, offering you a comprehensive understanding of this classic Nanyang coffee.
