White Americano, is a sophisticated twist on the classic Caffe Americano coffee. Traditionally, an Americano is made by diluting rich espresso with hot water, creating a beverage that's as strong as a regular drip coffee but with the distinct flavor profile of espresso.
The White Americano takes the regular Americano a step further by adding a touch of milk or cream, softening the intense espresso, and introducing a smooth, velvety texture that coffee lovers cherish.
