White Coffee: Is it everything you’ve been searching for?

February 2, 2023

In 2014, Dutch Bros introduced a rad new product to the menu…white coffee! Perhaps ahead of its time, the launch of white coffee came with an influx of customer questions.

What’s white coffee?

Why should I try it? 

What’s it taste like? 

Dutch Bros’ white coffee beans are roasted for a shorter period of time and at a lower temperature, resulting in a half roasted yet fully charged bean that’s completely unique! 

What’s so special about white coffee? For starters, it has a much lower acidity level and more caffeine than the traditional Dutch Bros blend. A miracle for customers with sensitive tummies! The naturally occurring sugars in the coffee beans don’t caramelize during the roasting process, which in turn takes away that somewhat bitter aftertaste often associated with regular espresso. Perfect for those who don’t enjoy the taste of traditional espresso, but are still in need of that daily pick me up!

Due to its lower roasting temperatures, the white coffee flavor profile is much lighter, earthy and nutty. A flavor as distinct as that of white coffee takes a bit of a taste testing trial to find the perfect flavor combo to pair it with. Luckily Dutch Bros has done the work for you! 

Here’s five drink recommendations to set you off on your white coffee journey ⚡
