caffine is found in many products including tea coffie coke and chocolate if you read the lables they often tell you the caffine levels.
I buy decaffinated tea and coffie I get funny looks when you go into a cafe and ask for a mug of water and pull out a packet of sweetners and a packet on decaffenated cappuccino and make your own but at least I know there is no caffine in it as I have asked for decaffinated before and I know it wasnt cos 20 minuites later I was running for the loo caffine always dose that to me its why I stopped drinking it

no, there is about 50 mg per cup in tea and between 160-185 mg per cup of drip coffee.
Both can be bought caffine free also.

Tea is a common source of caffeine. Tea usually contains about half as much caffeine per serving as coffee, depending on the strength of the brew. Certain types of tea, such as 'black' (and that doesn't mean without milk) and 'oolong', contain somewhat more caffeine than most other teas. Tea contains small amounts of theobromine and slightly higher levels of theophylline than coffee. Preparation has a significant impact on tea, and color is a very poor indicator of caffeine content.[8] Teas like the green Japanese gyokuro, for example, contain far more caffeine than much darker teas like lapsang souchong, which has very little.
While coffee and tea are both sources of caffeine, the amounts of caffeine in any single serving of these beverages varies significantly. Generally, dark-roast coffee has less caffeine than lighter roasts because the roasting process reduces the bean's caffeine content. Caffeine content in coffee varies widely depending on the type of coffee bean and the method of preparation used, even beans within a given bush can show variations in concentration. 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.(Ref.: Caffeine by The Institute of Food Technologists' Expert Panel on Food Safety & Nutrition.) 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.

this could nicely be a trick question. Tea itself has lots extra caffeine than coffee. despite the fact that, you employ extra coffee consistent with cup, and it gets in part dissolved interior the water. this means that a cup of coffee has extra caffeine than a cup of tea.

No. Tea has theothphaline, which is good for you.
