    White tea has the least amount of caffeine of any tea type. Silver Needle has approximately 10mg per cup which is less than half the caffeine of a standard cup of green tea.I hope that helps!

    Every tea has caffeine in it. But the white is more delicate and tastes as fruit. We may reduce the levels if we take some measures while using it. I mostly prefers herbal tea.

    I believe it is incorrect that white tea has the least amount of caffeine.This study says white tea has the HIGHEST amount of caffeine:For a comparison of black, green and white tea caffeine – the best single reference I know is “Characterization of White Tea – Comparison to green and black tea” Y Hilal and U Engelhardt. J. Verbr. Lebensm. 2 (2007) 414-421. The authors are in the Dept. Food Chem, University of Braunshweig, Germany. Around 160 tea brands were sampled from across the German retail market They show for caffeine:Black tea (50 teas) average 3.5% (range 2.0 – 5.4%) Green tea set 1 (50 teas) average 3.4% (range 1.5 – 5.2%) Green tea set 2 (30 teas) average 2.9% (range 1.7 – 2.9%) White tea (30 teas) average 4.9% (range 3.4 – 5.7%)
