Poverty Bay White Tornado White Coffee Beans 1lb Bag White Roast Coffee Specal Grind

I don't understand the negative reviews. This coffee is EXACTLY what it is supposed to be. Yes, if it sits, it turns green. That's the nature of White Coffee. No, it doesn't taste like coffee. That's the point. It's mild, high caffeine, and doesn't stain your teeth. It's a fine grind suitable for espresso machines, French press (what I use) or a coffee maker. I find it VERY comparable to the retail chain that sells white coffee. I use it to make my morning mocha at a fraction of the cost. Haven't been to a retail coffee shop since purchase. I purchased a small French Press that travels with me. More than pays for itself. One bag lasts me almost 3 months with everyday use.

I have been ordering this coffee for a little over a year. I first discovered white coffee through Dutch Bros and I was looking for my own to be able to make at home. I am a coffee connoisseur and the coffee can get pretty expensive buying it every day I do like white coffee because it is less acidic than dark coffee. I have tried several different white copies on this one. However I do like quite a bit I am a big fan of small businesses, especially ones that can give you the same quality as a large business. I do prefer the 2 pound bag over the 1 pound bag only because in the 2 pound bag coarseness of the ground are finer I do find the 2 pound pound bag does have more of the nutty aroma and taste which I do like quite a bit and also it doesn’t take much coffee creamer

The media could not be loaded. This was my first time buying white coffee, I had it at Dutch Bros and really liked it, so I decided to try it. I’m so glad I did! The first time I tried it brewed I was getting a bean water taste, but I have since gotten a small moka pot and this is the best way I found to make it outside of an espresso machine. It’s delightful! It’s smooth and it’s not acid, I can drink it on an empty stomach and it does not cause any discomfort. I also got it because I got clear braces and didn’t want to stain my teeth. I would love it if it came in bean form so I can freeze the beans and grind as needed, for freshness, but this is also a great option. After my second or third time having it, I’ve started to distinguish notes of cocoa butter and hazelnut, which are so delightful. I think this is probably going to be the next trend, because of all the retained health benefits and low acidity. I’m so glad I found it and would definitely recommend. I haven’t tried a different brand, but this tastes like the one I get at the coffee shop, so I would be hard pressed, since this is a great value for the money. I will say, you need less coffee than your roasted one because it has more caffeine and it expands a little more than the darker roasted coffee. All in all, it’s a 10 for me and given the opportunity, I will repurchase. I bought two by mistake and I’m glad i did.

UPDATED REVIEW 11/20/24:I don’t know WHAT HAPPENED with the quality but my last 2 orders have been downright disgusting! I don’t even know what other flavor to describe other than beyond STALE!!! The color is darker too! I think there is either FILLER in this OR they are sneaking in regular roasted coffee. It is just god-awful now and hardly palatable without milk and vanilla creamer - before I could drink it straight if I was in a hurry. Now it’s really bad and I can’t hold out hope & take another risk buying this brand again. It makes me sick to drink and tastes very OFF from how it did literally every time until these last few orders. This used to smell faintly like peanut butter, now it has an entirely new scent to it that mirrors its new flavor. I’m very unhappy and won’t be buying this coffee again. I’m trying Gravity grounds white coffee next time because this brand has done a complete 180!!!!Original review 4/7/2024:I’m a black coffee drinker and ex smoker. The years of smoking and savoring hot black coffee in my mouth (about 6 cups a day) had utterly destroyed my teeth into a deep yellow. Went to the dentist and got them whitened back to a bright white but was told to stop drinking black coffee, colorful spices, and bright foods/dark berries otherwise I will stain my teeth back. Well, I didn’t listen and stained my teeth… was able to have them rewhitened but now they are even MORE susceptible to being stained, so I began the quest to find a coffee that would not stain my teeth, gives me energy and most importantly, keeps my bowels regular (IYKYK!!!) but does such product EXIST? Enter WHITE TORNADO COFFEE!!I took the plunge for $15 and bought a pound. The reviews on white coffee among all vendors was mixed, but this particular brand Poverty Bay had the most positive ones. I was desperate for a good experience - I Need Coffee. Everyone said to use a French press to make this coffee. I LOVE and PREFER French press coffee over all other preparation methods, so I brought my coffee to work and took out my trusty press.Upon opening this coffee package, it smelled delightful. RICH and nutty, peanutty. Not hazelnutty, I hate hazelnut coffee with a passion and I’m delighted to report that this bore no resemblance in smell nor flavor. It honestly smelled like 90% Reese’s peanut butter cups, 10% coffee…yum??!! I put three heaping spoonfuls in my French press with about 20oz of hot water from my office’s hot water machine. My expectations were bleak as I watched what looked 100% like crushed peanuts leaching their sandy dark golden color and oils into the clear hot water.The final product was very translucent but not clear, and very light colored - I spilled some decanting it from my French press into a cup, when I wiped it up with a white napkin there was no staining. Because I can’t drink hot beverages anymore (because they stain your teeth…. SIGH) I made an iced “coffee”. In my cup I poured in 4 vanilla coffee mate liquid creamers over ice, then topped my cup off with this freshly pressed concoction and stirred - see photo for before and after. The result… WOW. This stuff is delicious!!!!It doesn’t take like regular coffee, but a more delicate, less pungent, nuttier & lighter coffee. Like a very Light roast.. without the roast, and without any acid. If you’re new to white coffee like I am, especially if you’re a black coffee drinker - adjust the bar for your expectations, hopes, and dreams for this product to Low, when I say LOW, I mean set bar in hell. It would say this resembled a black tea with milk kind of experience, but without that disgusting tea-bitter astringency, just smooth and rich light coffee with nutty flavors - mixed with vanilla flavor, it was just divine. I chugged it. It was so good that I promptly made another one with the remaining half to savor it at a slower pace. So how’s the caffeine and….. other benefits?!Let me assure you that this has caffeine, but I swear to God, it’s an elevated type of caffeination - I felt it kick my behind into gear and wake me up, but it did so without that little *dash* of anxiety & panic I’ve grown accustomed to for that extra push in productivity. But with this coffee I’m calm and energized. About 20 minutes after drinking it I felt like I had to use the bathroom, thank God!!! Final thoughts. I’m looking forward to drinking this everyday instead of the regular black coffee that had destroyed my teeth, when I made this coffee it turned practically white with the addition of creamer and it didn’t stain my teeth at all (which would have shown immediately) this is a win and I would highly recommend it. I prefer this over coffee now!!!

I've had white coffees before, and this is a decent variety. It tastes nutty and less acidic than regular coffee, and it goes well with creamy/caramel/nutty things if you want to make more than just a simple drink. (Try it with amaretto liqueur, it's pretty great) The only downside is that it doesn't brew well in a conventional drip coffee maker - it will taste watered down, slightly more bitter and mine turned GREEN after a while and just wasn't appetizing to me after that.... but if I use my french press all is right and good in the world of white coffee.

For anyone who cannot drink black coffee this is the best brand and alternative. My spouse cannot have regular coffee anymore due to the acidic content so we gave white coffee a try. so far so good! This is the best tasting on Amazon so far.
