It is not a well known fact that White tea may be the healthiest option of all the teas (debatable!).¬† But what’s not debatable is the fact that it undergoes no fermenatation and very minimal processing.¬† White tea contains little caffeine and has the same benefits as green tea. But a word to the wise: avoid white tea if you suffer from *ahem* stomach problems. Anyways, here is the best way to prepare yourself a great White tea experience: Recommended tea is Sri Lankan Ceylon Amount of Tea Leaf: ¬†10g (0.35 oz, light 3 tsp.) Brew and Enjoy!
Water Temperature:  Boiling
Water Amount:  650ml (22 fl.oz)
Brewing Time:  3 minutes
Temp. When Served:  80’C (180’F)
Amt. of Brewed Tea/ Cup:  120ml (4 fl.oz)
Whole Amt. of Brewed Tea:  600ml (20 fl.oz)

I think the best white tea is Moonlight White, but it is VERY pricey- $130 a pound!!
White isn’t always expensive. But I’d recommend 74C not boiling water.
