This might also be a reason why white tea might have less caffeine than green, if you steep it even less time. I also think you can't claim that a pharmacologically active dose of caffeine is at least 200mg. Some people, like me, react rather strongly to a single cup of green tea. Others can drink several cups of coffee just before bedtime and fall asleep easily. If the leaves have the same concentration, then black tea,
