White tea

White tea is the least processed of all true teas — young leaves, minimal handling, no oxidation — which keeps both histamine and biogenic amine content very low.

• Minimal processing advantage — because white tea skips the oxidation that black and oolong teas go through, it doesn't accumulate the biogenic amines that can modestly add to your body's load; it's the cleanest tea option from that angle

• Lower caffeine, same comfort — white tea typically has the least caffeine of any true tea, which means less of the adrenaline-driven flushing or jitteriness that can sometimes be mistaken for a histamine response

White tea is a good starting point if you want the ritual of tea with the fewest variables to manage.
