You know teas like Oolong, Green, and Jasmine- the ones you find in China town that aren't packaged in tea bags- do those teas also have caffeine?

Yes, ALL teas have caffeine, even the ones that have been decaffeinated have traces. Researchers have found traces of caffeine in both teas and coffees that have been "decaffeinated".
An 8 oz leaf or bag of tea has approx. 50 mg of caffeine.

Green tea certainly has caffeine. For all brands read the label or ask the vendor, usually they know. Most do have caffeine, few do not.

To date, the only negative side effect reported from drinking green tea is insomnia due to the fact that it contains caffeine. However, green tea contains less caffeine than coffee: there are approximately thirty to sixty mg. of caffeine in six - eight ounces of tea, compared to over one-hundred mg. in eight ounces of coffee.

They have some, but not as much. The ones you lised are herbal teas with little or no caffiene.
