White Coffee

Alaska Artisan Coffee is proud to present the only organic White Coffee roasted using Alaska's fresh mountain air. White Coffee has a nutty taste that is higher in antioxidants and caffeine than a dark roasted coffee. Our White Coffee is being offered pre-ground because the bean is significantly harder than a dark roasted bean, and could damage a normal household grinder. 

What is White Coffee?

Origin: The term "white coffee" often refers to a specific preparation method from Ipoh, Malaysia. It's made from coffee beans that are roasted at a lower temperature, resulting in a lighter color and different flavor profile compared to traditional coffee.

Roasting Process: In contrast to regular coffee, which is typically roasted until dark, white coffee beans are roasted until they reach a light tan color. This process helps to preserve more of the beans' natural flavors, producing a less bitter and more fragrant beverage.

Flavor Profile: The lighter roast results in a smoother taste with a nutty and slightly sweet flavor. It’s less acidic than dark-roasted coffee and can have fruity or floral notes.

Preparation: White coffee is often served with sweetened condensed milk, which adds creaminess and sweetness. It can be enjoyed hot or cold. You can also add sugar, flavored syrups, or milk if you prefer a creamier texture.

Health Aspects

  • Caffeine Content: Because of the lighter roasting, white coffee may have slightly higher caffeine content than darker roasts.
  • Antioxidants: Some studies suggest that lighter roasts may retain more antioxidants than darker roasts, although this can vary depending on the specific beans and roasting methods.

 

 

Brewing Instructions

 

Espresso Method

This is the preferred method of preparing white coffee. It is best to loosely fill your basket about half full. Shake it down and even, but DON'T TAMP. Hit your brew button for about 2 seconds and turn it off. Wait about 10 seconds, and then pull your shot. The waiting time allows the white coffee to swell up. The shot will flow rapidly. A normal espresso double shot should take about 25 seconds to pull, but a white coffee double will only take about 8 seconds, and that's if you let the coffee swell up as mentioned previously.

Drip Coffee Preparation

PLEASE READ! Preparing white coffee as drip can be a bit of a hit and miss affair. The coffee swells so much during brewing that you have to be careful to avoid overflowing grounds. We do not recommend that you use a Bunn brewer, or any type of pour over brewer. There are even some fast brewing drip brewers on the market that will overflow your grounds. If you use a typical drip brewer, such as Cuisinart, Mr. Coffee, etc., you should be fine.

We figure if you're making white coffee you want the caffeine. Please note that preparing white coffee as drip coffee will extract a good majority of the caffeine, and trust us, there's A LOT OF CAFFEINE in white coffee. To make a strong 12 cup pot of white coffee, measure out 7 (level) tablespoons into your brewer's filter. Note that the white coffee will swell up to about twice its original volume. So, if 7 tablespoons nearly fills your filter, you will need to reduce the amount. Use a full pot of fresh, clean water and brew. It is wise to observe your brewer the first time you prepare white coffee. If the grounds start to overflow, unplug your coffee maker immediately.
