White coffee has a characteristic mild, bean-like taste with a hint of hawaij. In addition, many people also drink white coffee with a mixture of cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Over the past few years, white coffee instant coffee products have become increasingly popular. You yourself may have often consumed it. This type of coffee is often touted as safe for the stomach. Is White Coffee really healthier than other types of coffee?

The name white coffee is taken from the color of the coffee which is pale and not as thick as black coffee. But not as expected, white coffee is produced from ordinary coffee beans that are not white in color. However, the processing from beans to coffee is different. In Malaysia, this coffee is made from ground coffee beans together with palm oil, margarine, or olive oil. After that, the coffee is served with hot water and sweetened condensed milk.

To cool the coffee, usually the barista will “pull” the coffee so that the flavors blend together and natural foam appears. How to pull white coffee is the same as making Teh Tarik or Aceh coffee. However, the type of white coffee that is widely circulated in the market today is already served in the form of instant powder. You just need to brew it with hot water and your coffee is ready to drink without having to “pull” or add milk.

Many people believe that drinking this type of coffee is safe for people who have diseases of the digestive system or have stomach organs that are sensitive to coffee. White coffee is said to be safe for the stomach because it contains less caffeine than other types of coffee. Caffeine is a stimulant substance that can cause digestive problems such as nausea, diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

During the grinding process, the coffee beans will be processed in such a way at low temperatures. Therefore, the caffeine content in coffee that has been ground will be left a little. It also tastes less sour and much softer than other types of coffee. Even so, you still have to be careful because everyone’s body is different. You may be sensitive to caffeine or even have a caffeine intolerance so even small doses can cause certain body reactions. In addition to digestive problems, some of the side effects of caffeine include restlessness, insomnia, a faster heart beat, headaches, and ringing in the ears.
