Anji Baicha has made quite a wave in China, and the bulk prices is
comparable or more to other high priced teas such as Xihu Longjing
etc.

I don't think it is low in caffeine, but more because it is high in
theanine, so in the same category as the white teas, but more cooked.

If price is an issue, I would suggest you try some other teas. If
green tea doesn' really work out, try some dark oolongs or herbal
teas. Alternatively, check up for more tips here ...
