"Morning Thunder" does, indeed have more caffein than coffee, primarily
because it is a blend of tea and roasted matte (pronounced mat-tay, I
am told); the roasted matte has an extremely high caffein content.
The tea in the blend, presumably, has the same caffein content as the
same tea in any other blend; the other ingredients affect the total
caffein contents of the brew ("strength" and "weakness" arguments
aside).
  
If you've tried a cup of this brew, you know how it got its name.
