~NOW SERVING WHITE COFFEE~

In the United States, white coffee refers to coffee beans which have been roasted to the yellow roast level and when prepared as espresso, produces a thin yellow brew. American white coffee is very highly caffeinated, being only lightly roasted. It is the length of the roasting process, producing successively darker color, which removes the caffeine from the coffee beans. White coffee is generally used only for making espresso drinks, not simple brewed coffee. With shorter roasting times natural sugars are not caramelized within the coffee beans, leaving no bitter aftertaste. The flavor of white coffee is frequently described as nut-like. White coffee grounds are more dense than other blends, making white coffee more concentrated, thus white coffee grounds have more caffeine that can be extracted in the final brew.
