I manage a coffee shop in phoenix and convinced my roaster to give me a "white" espresso blend, which is really just an ultra-blond roast. For coffee nerds: He roasts until right before the first crack and then removes the beans from the roaster. The resulting espresso is like a cross between yerba mate and coffee in flavor and has a sort of grain/cereal flavor. I still do regular espresso, but a lot of our patrons really like the variety. It makes a good latte but its hard to do anything else with because it doesn't form a very strong crema.
