What is the best tea to drink before bed? Naturally low-caffeine white tea, such as Spring White Buds or Rara Willow, is the gentlest choice for an evening cup, typically 15 to 25 mg of caffeine per cup versus 40 to 70 mg in black tea.

Low-caffeine white tea for your evening routine

White tea is the least processed of all tea styles, simply withered and gently dried rather than oxidized. That light touch preserves a naturally low caffeine content and a soft, delicate character that many people prefer in the evening.

Rara Willow White Tea

Gentle, woody notes with a light citrus finish.

Nepalese Silver Tips White Tea

Sweet almond and citrus, delicate and smooth.

Spring White Buds White Tea

NYT-featured, soft floral sweetness, crisp and bright.

How to brew white tea for evening

Steep at 175 to 185 degrees F for 2 to 3 minutes. Cooler water and a shorter steep protect white tea's delicate character and keep the naturally low caffeine content on the gentle side.
