Hi, Busy,
Are you looking for tea with no caffeine?
-->> I drink Peppermint tea OR Ginger Tea when I want a pick me up.
I also drink Linden or Lemon Balm --- but these are gentle soothing Teas
If you are O.K. with caffeine, here is a page of bold teas that are available:

I do not think I tried any of these. Let us know if you do try them and find them satisfactory.
My health food store sells teas by the scoop. You can even mix and match. Call ahead of time to see if the person who knows teas is in that day.
