In the U.S., its a relatively novel and niche product, Klein says.
But this bang out of brewing is hardly new.
People in this part of the world have been enjoying white coffee for centuries.
No doubt because it delights the taste buds and comes with other (alleged) benefits.
Curious to learn more (and try white coffee for yourself)?
How is white coffee different from regular coffee?
White coffee comes from the same green coffee beans as your regular roast.
But the main difference is the roasting temperature.
For context, most roasting companies aim for temperatures between 400o and 430o Fahrenheit, perPartners Coffee.

Roasting causes certain chemical changes in the beans compounds that affect the coffees smell, taste, and appearance.
So if youre wanting to give a non-caffeinated beverage a whirl, this could be good choice!
Its also available in an instant version with powdered creamer and sweetener, he says.
Unique flavor
Lower roasting temperatures produce a unique flavor profile thats distinct from darker roasts.
In the case of white coffee, this translates to a distinctly earthy taste.
It has hay-like or nutty notes with a very light body, Klein says.
(Some say as much as 50 percent more!)
The theory goes that lower roasting temperature leads to less caffeine roasted out.
But caffeine content is heavily dependent on measurement, says Klein.
Just keep in mind its possible the caffeine content will be mostly similar to your average cup of coffee.
More antioxidants
White coffee is also touted for its supposed health benefits, Klein says.
White coffee retains more chlorogenic acid, an important polyphenol with antioxidant properties, Klein says.
But keep in mind things arent so cut and dry when it comes to antioxidants.
This can be a problem if youre a coffee lover with particular gut health issues.
Fans of white coffee often claim that it is less bitter or less acidic, Klein says.
But I think thats dubious or possibly a little misleading, he adds.
Klein has a valid point.
So what does this all mean for white coffee?
If you find it works for your stomach, sip away.
More than likely, your typical at-homecoffee grinderwont be equipped to do the job.
Buy the beans pre-ground.
For example, one easy option is to use an espresso machine.
Many white coffee fans enjoy it in espresso form, Klein says.
Doing a second pour-over can be a great way tomake your coffee stronger, richer, and more satisfying.
Alternatively, adding a scoop of a darker roast could help create a unique blend.
If you go this route, be sure to choose a variety that complements white coffees nutty flavor.
There are plenty of pre-ground options out there.
