Did we get high on this tea?

The parents took a trip to Hawaii. They brought back some kind of white tea in a canvas bag. They brewed it for us and we seemed to legitimately experience a moderate high. What happened? What did we drink?

The tea was reportedly bought in a semi-touristy stall on Hawaii island itself and looked like plain white tea leaves. The canvas bag it came in was unmarked, but had a sticker label on it that had been thrown away before the trip back home. We think it was probably from the Tea Hawaii Company, but we're not sure.

The reason we're trying to track it down is the high it induced. After drinking about 6 ounces of semi-strong tea, we felt a cannabis-like high but much more clear-headed. It came on immediately and lasted around 15 minutes before fading with no further effects, positive or negative.

I am not a regular tea drinker, and I'm reasonably sure I haven't heard of anything similar happening. Does anyone know what happened? Is this something that can be replicated without going back to the island?
