Unique foreign coffee brand of Malaysian coffee

Malaysia is closer to Singapore and has more in common in cafe culture and coffee drinking, but the biggest reason coffee gluttons cannot ignore is that Malaysia is the only Liberica coffee producer in the world outside West Africa. This unique coffee has a rich aroma and a light taste, accounting for less than 2% of the coffee grown in the world today, largely because the taste of this coffee is so special that it is not acceptable to everyone, so the market is naturally weaker than Arabica or Robusta. For a long time, Malaysians have gradually abandoned the cultivation of this coffee, or changed to other varieties, of course, more people have chosen oil palm. And Liberica coffee is becoming more and more weak, even in Malaysia, it is only enough for self-sale, it is estimated that it is also like the Maldives, if you do not try, it will eventually be out of this unique taste.

But searching for roots is a nostalgic dream that sweeps the world. On the one hand, the new Kopitiam is booming. Like Singapore, most of the old cafes have been modified, equipped with air conditioning and sofas. This is not a destruction of the tradition, but the best way to maintain the tradition. Old Town is the most famous new and old-fashioned coffee chain in Malaysia, and its popularity has made Ipoh White Coffee the representative of Malaysian coffee. On the other hand, you can also see cafes like Typica in Kuala Lumpur where they roast less and less Liberica coffee by hand, bringing the coffee back to its origin, and sometimes even paying three times the price for coffee beans, so that growers can keep the Liberika coffee. The traditional Liberica coffee will add sugar to the roasting process to make it darker and neutralize the Liberika coffee with an "extensive" flavor that requires no sugar or just a little sugar.

The so-called white coffee, in the roasting process does not add sugar, only butter, so the color is relatively light, but mostly not from Liberia, but from Indonesia. "Bai" has a clean and pure meaning in Chinese, so it complements each other. White coffee does not have a long history compared with local coffee. It first came from Ipoh. Now the fourth largest city in Malaysia is mostly Chinese, Cantonese is the lingua franca. In the early years, it was famous for tin mines, and most of the French moved in. The first Chinese to come here are tin miners (like Phuket in Thailand) and have their own coffee culture. The so-called Old Town is generally known as the old street farm of Ipo. there are also several of the oldest Kopitiam, Xinyuanlong, Xinyuanfeng and Nanxiang, which can eat orthodox white coffee, which is not much different from the traditional Kopitiam, and you can also try Ipoh's famous river noodles.
