                                While many assume white tea is the lowest in caffeine, recent research has revealed a specific wild Chinese tea plant containing even less. Among the six main types of *Camellia sinensis* derived teas, the post-fermented dark teas, or heicha, generally contain the least amount of caffeine. Factors like processing methods, leaf age, and brewing technique also play a significant role in determining the final caffeine levels in your cup.
