I don't know, but I am a regular coffee drinker and a cup of hot tea will turn me into a hyper active person. It is too much for me.

Here is a chart that shows the milligrams on caffeine contained in 12 ounces of various beverages. As you can see, coffee has the most and even green tea has traces of caffeine.

Coffee has more than twice the amount of caffeine per serving than tea. There is a myth that tea has more caffeine, but that is only on a pound for pound comparison.

on a general basis, no.
Green Teas don't have caffeine, and you would be surprised that most decaffeinated coffees still have a level of caffeine in them!!

pound for pound there is more caffiene in black tea than there is in coffee. but since you use so much less tea per cup you do not get as much caffeine.

I am told there is more caffeine in tea but tea seems more gentle--not so abrupt lift--curious to see what others think.

depends on the tea your drinking. black teas have quite a bit but there are huge health benefits to tea that coffee doesn't have.

more in tea - before it is processed and swallowed.
