One of the newest trends in coffee, is white coffee. White coffee is exactly what it sounds like, coffee that is white as opposed to the dark brown we see from brown coffee beans.
So then what is all the hype? White coffee is made from the same green beans as normal coffee, the difference is that it is roasted for half the time, and at a lower temperature than normal coffee. White coffee is roasted to 325 degrees, while fully roasted coffee is roasted to anywhere between 450 and 480 degrees. A lower roasting temp and time, means more caffeine in the bean! The amount of caffeiene in a coffee bean is dependent on its density, which has to do with how long the bean is roasted for. White coffee has 50% more caffeine than fully roasted coffee. Besides it having more caffeine, white coffee also has a lighter and more nutty taste. A nice change for those not into dark and rich flavors. It also is less acidic and has more antioxidants. The next time you see white coffee at a coffee shop, try it, and let us know what you think!
