Coffee: Unbelached vs Bleached? (pawb.social)

I just became interested in pour-over coffee, after a lifetime of only drinking mokas. While shopping for my first coffee machine, i noticed that there are two kinds of coffee filters: bleached and unbleached, apparently the only difference between them is just the color, but i'm sure there's something i'm missing.

What should i grab, and why?

The best thing you can do is test this for yourself.

Steep a plain coffee filter in water, taste it, and determine your findings from there. Repeat with each filter candidate

I would imagine the filter itself doesn't have much of a taste, the differences would be in how they absorb the oil, right? Seems like experimenting with coffee would be pretty essential
