Janelle, it all depends on how long someone steeps their tea. The longer tea is steeped, the more caffeine will leach from it.
Black tea (what's called orange pekoe) is simply green tea from the same plant, Camellia sinesis (means Chinese camellia) that has been fermented & dried. Oolong tea is partially fermented - halfway between the two. Don't steep your tea too much & the caffeine levels will remain low.
