Yes, Lapsang Souchong, a black tea characterized by its smoky aroma, which comes from drying the leaves over pine smoke, does contain caffeine. However, because it is a souchong, meaning that it is made from larger, more mature leaves of the tea plant, it tends to be significantly lower in caffeine than the typical grades of black tea (like orange pekoe, and most other black teas) which are made from the bud and leaves closer to the bud, which are higher in caffeine.
