An 8 fl oz cup of green tea, brewed has 29 mg of caffeine. The same size cup of black tea, brewed has 47 mg - 18 mg more. Both come from the same plant; the difference comes down to how the leaves are processed and oxidized, not a different source of caffeine.
Figures come from USDA FoodData Central; see the source link in the table below. Add either one to the caffeine calculator to see how it fits your personal daily limit.
