Below is a summary of responses on white and green tea:
I buy most of my tea loose from local tea salons. They can help you pick
flavors you might like and comment on processing.

I've never used the white tea, but I just recently bought some green tea,
made by Kroger and I called them to check on the GF status, and they said
there was NO gluten.

I am a fan of a brand that I buy at Trader Joe's, it is white tea, the
brand is Inko's. (It is) bottled and comes in several flavors, plain, and
slightly peach or honeydew
flavored.

I get my teas from _www.tentea.com_ (http://www.tentea.com/) . Their green
and white teas are great. Their service is unbelievable so I know they would
answer any questions you have. I had a party with their blossom teas - it
was great fun. I order on one day and get my order in 2 or 3 days and I live
in the mountains so things usually take longer.

If you want the health benefits of green or white, don't waste your money on
supermarket stuff. Buy good tea from a reputable importer (I like
www.harney.com) and learn the correct way to brew it. Never use boiling
water,
slow steep, etc. - the results are worth the effort.

I like Celestial Seasonings Decaf Green Tea. The bag can be brewed 3 to 5
mins in a cup of boiling water. I also get the green tea with raspberries
from Celestial Seasonings. All the Celestial Seasonings gf teas are so marked
on the bottom of the box, too, which is nice. Celestial Seasonings also
sells white tea, however, I have never tried it, nor do I know whether it is gf.

Some of Celestial Season's teas have gluten. I know I had to give up
Roastaroma
Mocha Spice because it had roasted barley in it. For green tea, I buy
Salada because it has flavor but doesn't have a lot of funky flavorings added
whose source could be an issue

_www.stashtea.com_ (http://www.stashtea.com/) in a great place to start
Also, I have heard it is recommended to be 'healthier' to use loose teas. Stash
Teas have a really neat selection.
