Is there a black tea with a high amount of L-theanine in it?

I like tea but have found that caffeine makes me anxious. Green tea doesn't do so and I think it's because it is well balanced with L-theanine but its low caffeine content doesn't make it very effective for increasing my focus and productivity. I am wondering if anyone knows of any black teas with high L-theanine content.

    Good luck-  caffeine is terrific for productivity, but, yes, too much can cause unwanted side effects.

    As in all of life, balance is the issue.
