White coffee and black coffee

We can understand from this point of view, Black Coffee is what we call black coffee, what is black coffee, which is probably everyone knows, that is, without any seasoning, pure coffee is black coffee. So the opposite of plain coffee is creamy coffee with milk or cream, while in the United States, people seldom use the word white coffee, but more often use Coffee Light or Light Coffee, and more directly it is called Coffee with Milk. The "brightener" used in coffee can make cream, dairy products, starch syrup, and even white drinks such as soy milk or almond dew.

If you are in Southeast Asia, especially in Malaysia, the word white coffee has a different meaning.

White coffee is a popular coffee drink in Southeast Asia. It comes from Ipoh, Malaysia.

This kind of coffee should be roasted with palm oil, and roasted coffee with condensed milk. The proper term White Coffee comes entirely from the literal translation of the Chinese name of this coffee drink by Chinese workers working in local tin mines in the 19th century. In Malaysia, traditional coffee is roasted with sugar and palm oil, so the color of roasted coffee beans is very black, while what we call "white coffee" only adds palm oil without sugar, so the color of roasted coffee is slightly lighter than that of traditionally roasted coffee, so it is named "white coffee". In today's city of Ipoh, you can see instant coffee called white coffee, which is usually used as an after-dinner drink.
