White tea is harvested early and immature. Black/oolong/green is a matter of post-processing.
Can you provide a link for that assertion? The post-harvesting processing of white tea is quite different from that of green, not to mention black. Also, I believe that while white tea requires top-quality leaves (the bud + 1-2 young leaves) and other teas don’t, the top quality greens, oolongs, and blacks use the same “immature” leaves as white.

White tea has huge variance in caffeine across varieties. Both tails of the distribution are white.
