Tea can have more caffeine that coffee if it is made VERY strong but most people don't seen to enjoy that strong of tea.
Medical studies are saying both have good affects on the body. Tea has antioxidants and coffee presents some negative affects of alcohol.
Remember there are teas and coffee that state they are caffeine free but there is still a small amount of caffeine in them.

Judging from the comments, yes it is truly a misconception. Coffee has more caffeine that tea!

Weight for weight, dry tea leaves have more caffeine in them than coffee grounds, but in the drink there is less caffeine released in tea than in coffee. A cup of coffee contains more caffeine than an equivalent cup of tea.

By weight yes, but once you brew it tea has less caffeine than coffee (coffee has about 80mg while black tea is about 40mg per cup).
These numbers are dependent on the type of tea/coffee and how you brew it but under almost all circumstances a cup of tea will have less caffeine.

In general, each of the following contains approximately 200 milligrams of caffeine:
Five 1 fluid ounce shots of espresso from robusta beans (150 milliliters)
Two 8 fluid ounce containers of regular coffee (470 milliliters)
Five 8 fluid ounce cups of black tea (1.2 liters)
You can see by the examples above that in general coffee has more caffeine than tea
