White coffee is a type of coffee that is made by roasting coffee beans at a lower temperature and for a shorter period of time than traditional dark roast coffee. This results in a coffee that is lighter in color and has a milder, less bitter taste than dark roast coffee. White coffee is often served with milk or cream, which can enhance its smooth and creamy flavor. The milk or cream also helps to balance the acidity of the coffee, making it a popular choice for those with sensitive stomachs.
