If so why do I get more of a buzz from coffee and fancy tea when I need comforting or want to chill out? Has this got something to do with the speed at which the caffine is released/absorbed?

While coffee and tea are both sources of caffeine, the amounts of caffeine in any single serving of these beverages varies significantly. An average serving of coffee contains the most caffeine, yet the same serving size of tea provides only 1/2 to 1/3 as much. One of the more confusing aspects of caffeine content is the fact that coffee contains less caffeine than tea when measured in its dry form. The caffeine content of a prepared cup of coffee is significantly higher than the caffeine content of a prepared cup of tea

Plus it probably also varies greatly depending on the type of tea / coffee you are referring to. Think its mostly down to the bean & leaf. Also how strong you have either drink...

tea has about half of the caffeine as coffee. It also has healthy antioxidants. Definitely better for you than coffee!

I think coffee has more because whenever I drink I get on a roll.

as far as I know (I am a tea and coffee drinker) coffee has twice the amount of caffeine.
