No.

Unless you're doing it wrong by like.. adding sugar or something.

Time for another cup, I had 2 large heaped teaspoons of Gyokuro this morning, now I'll have some China Jasmine.

There is a term used mainly for Pu-Erh teas - being tea drunk. That describes literal caffeine high invoked by ingesting a lot of caffeine relatively quickly.

Speaking from experience - the worst that had happened for me was not being able to sleep the night after drinking a lot of strong gong-fu brewed Pu-Erh teas.

Chemically theanine, taurine and caffeine are the same thing.
