White coffee, not white, is originally from Ipoh. It gets its name from mellow, thick coffee with condensed milk and yellow sugar.

The biggest essential difference between white coffee and black coffee is in its processing process.

The difference between white coffee and instant coffee lies in the selection of raw materials, the stir-frying of coffee beans and the blending of coffee. White coffee is usually made of selected Arabica beans, so it tastes pure.

As for the origin of the name "white coffee", it originated in the Ipoh region of Malaysia at the beginning of the last century. At that time, a large number of Chinese came to work as miners in tin mines in Ipoh, Malaysia in order to make a living. Because they had to work in the harsh environment of sun and rain every day, it was very easy to get cold, typhoid and other diseases, but at that time, medical facilities were very backward and there was a lack of necessary medicines, so the health of Chinese miners was greatly threatened. fortunately, they inadvertently found that the coffee fruit grown in the wild has the effect of refreshing, awakening and health care. So after work, they began to cook coffee fruits and some wild vegetables together to make "coffee wild vegetable soup", which can relieve fatigue after drinking, and is therefore loved by the majority of Chinese miners. One day, when the British miners inspected the mine, they accidentally smelled the smell of coffee and asked the rear that the miners were making "coffee wild vegetable soup." so the British miners taught the miners how to make coffee, and the miners drank western-style coffee ever since. With the passage of time, the influence of coffee in Malaysia has gradually expanded, and drinking coffee has become a traditional habit of many local families. But at that time, many Chinese did not like the bitter and sour taste of Western-style coffee, so they mixed different coffee beans, added the right amount of milk and sugar to the coffee, and changed the high-temperature roasted coffee to medium-low temperature for a long time. To improve Western-style coffee and gradually make it the most suitable for Chinese taste. Milk and sugar were added to the coffee. At that time, the Chinese called it "coffee with white" (white means milk and sugar and other ingredients). Gradually, people called this delicious coffee improved by the Chinese as "white coffee." it has also gradually become a traditional specialty of Malaysia and is very popular with people.
