Black tea has much less caffeine than green tea...just like dark roast coffee has less caffeine than lighter roasts.
I saw that Reed's has an energy drink out now called Natural Energy Elixir and for the 'natural' folks looks rockin.

So we do and it was poison man!! I have never put something into my body like that!! it made every inch of my skin burn, like prickles or pins and needles...We were doing a job in the sun and I thought I was dieing, i wanted to kill him and hes dieing laughing. Crazy shit man I have no idea what was in it but Ill never put something in my body unless I half-assed know exactly what it is.

roaring lion, like redbull but better and cheaper.
Coffee. It's a generation thing, I think? I never had an effect and it's simply not my taste?
gotta go with redbull, it has the least "crap" in it, I was getting the monster juice but it has sucralose in addition to the sugar, I also like that they offer small cans of it
I drink it infrequently enough that when I do it's a legitimate stimulant
there have been some interesting discoveries recently, first sucralose damages DNA, second taurine is actually really good for you

Chemical Found in Common Sweetener Damages DNA
A new study finds a chemical formed when we digest a widely used sweetener breaks up DNA. The finding raises questions about how the sweetener may contribute to health problems.

Red Bull? Gives me (and it seems most folks) wings of ODOR for 2-3 days. Disgusting, still rank immediately after showering and reaching for a towel kind of gross.
As for some of the ingredients in most of those...
Sucralose: definitely unhealthy, and a molecule your body doesn't seem to know what to do with.
Corn Syrup/Fructose(almost always from corn): Definitely not healthy and should only be consumed as a 'treat' less than a few times a month.
Inositol/VitaminB8: AWESOME stuff, except they don't usually use high quality versions in drinks.
Caffeine: Trash, because excepting a few instances it's all synthetic caffeine which is definitely not a healthy choice for daily intake.
Natural Flavor: Avoid anything with this in the ingredient list until the 'legal' list of allowed ingredients is changed. There are many chemicals you do not want to ingest which are allowed to be listed as a 'natural' ingredient. Energy drink mfgs have been known to add additional caffeine above the listed amount on the can, and they can legally do so by referring to it as one of the 'natural flavors.' While this is good for energy drink companies (gives it an extra kick vs. competition with the same labeled caffeine content), it's definitely not a good thing when companies use other allowed chemicals which affect your health.
Potassium Sorbate/Polysorbate-60/Polysorbate-80: Avoid these like the plague unless you like increased issues with chrons, leaky gut, logic and emotional stability (Ever meet a Karen?), or cancer and neurotoxins passing through your blood brain barrier and ending up in your brain tissue. I have pdf's of studies going back to the 70's on sorbates, and they were done waaaaaaay before the prolific use of it in soaps, shampoos, lotions, foods, vitamins and who knows what else in society today.
Personally I use coffee or caffeine extracted from green tea for caffeine. I also use a high quality myo-inositol and vitamin C in pure form. You're getting ripped off of your health and money when you consume energy drinks regularly.
Good luck!

Black tea is best consumed as kombucha and is not exactly the healthiest without fermentation of some kind.
The way I understand it... at some point tea was shipped in bales in the holds of hot/humid ships. During transit the outer layers of tea leaves would oxidize (turn black). The black outer leaves were stripped and the inner green bales were sold. Initially the black leaves were tossed, until someone noticed the sailors regularly consuming them in their own tea.
Some genius figured out you can take sub-par tea leaves and oxidize them, which does a great job of hiding the fact they're lower quality. Now we have a massive variety of pre-oxidized teas to choose from.
I love kombucha!!
