Don't believe blanket statements that white teas as a group have the
most or the least caffeine. But to the extent that white teas *tend*
to be made from the buds or growing tips of the tea plant, they will
have more caffeine than average teas. But there are many variables
that contribute to the amount of caffeine in the cup.
