If a tea has tea leaves in it (green tea, black tea, white tea, oolong tea) and it's not labeled as "decaffeinated", then it has caffeine in it.
Other teas/tisanes that do not have tea leaves as an ingredient do not have caffeine. It's confusing when people call something a "tea" when it doesn't have tea leaves in it, but that's the current usage.
Note that green tea is fairly low in caffeine. You can make mostly decaf tea by steeping your tea for a minute, discarding the liquid, and steeping it again (may take longer than usual). This method works best for oolongs and green teas.
