Malaysian coffee

White coffee is a very famous Malaysian specialty, with a history of about 100 years. White coffee does not refer to the color of the coffee being white. It is made from premium coffee beans and top-grade non-fat creamer, using medium-light low-temperature roasting and special processing techniques.

White coffee retains the original color and aroma, with a light and gentle hue, mellow and fragrant. Its faint creamy golden-yellow color offers a pure taste. During production, the caffeine and the bitter, astringent flavors produced by high-temperature roasting are removed, reducing caffeine content and the sour-bitter taste. The result is a smoother texture, purer flavor, and richer aroma, making it an excellent healthy and longevity-promoting beverage.

Below are some well-known brands of Malaysian white coffee:

　　1. Old Ipoh White Coffee. It primarily uses high-quality Liberica coffee beans produced in Malaysia, supplemented with imported superior Arabica and Robusta coffee beans, as well as top-grade non-fat creamer and natural cane sugar. Through medium-light low-temperature roasting and special processing, most of the caffeine is removed, and the bitter, astringent flavors caused by high-temperature roasting are avoided, minimizing the coffee's bitterness, acidity, and caffeine content. At the same time, it retains the original color, aroma, and various nutrients beneficial to health, without adding any enhancers to intensify the flavor. When brewed, it presents a creamy golden-yellow color, with a mellow and richly aromatic taste, hence the name white coffee. Among the many white coffee brands, “Old Ipoh” white coffee is an outstanding representative and has received high praise from consumers for its rich and mellow taste.

　　2. Malacca Old Street White Coffee. Pinyin in Chinese: ma liu jia lao jie bai ka fei; full company name: Malaysia Five-Star Local Products Co., Ltd. Its flagship product, Malacca Old Street Instant Three-in-One White Coffee, uses the finest Colombian coffee beans roasted and blended with sugar and non-fat milk powder. Though called “white” coffee, it is actually just slightly lighter in color than regular coffee. Despite being instant, it doesn’t lose any of the rich aroma of coffee—the enticing fragrance fills the air upon brewing. The taste lingers deliciously on the palate, with the balance between creamy aroma and slight bitterness perfectly struck. It’s smooth and silky, utterly captivating.

　　3. Yee Hiang White Coffee. Established in 1856, it migrated from Fujian to Malaysia and is a renowned time-honored brand in Asia and a living relic in Malaysia. Its products have been loved and trusted by generations of Malaysians, making it a trusted heritage brand among local consumers. Yee Hiang White Coffee is hailed by Malaysian consumers as a “trusted beverage.” What makes Yee Hiang White Coffee different from other white coffees, and why is it so popular? 1. In terms of production standards, it strictly adheres to ISO22000:2005 (an international standard for food safety management systems) and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) international standards in production and quality control. 2. In terms of ingredient selection: only originally imported, carefully selected Brazilian coffee beans are used. 3.
