It's been my understanding that white tea is basically a green tea with
white down (fuzz) on the leaves.

I've heard it said that white tea has a mildly depressant quality, more
than being a stimulant.

White teas tend to have a lighter taste than green teas, which in turn
tend to be lighter than oolongs or blacks.
