which has more caffiene cup of tea or cup of coffee?

Answer 1

neither if you drink them both decaffeinated

Answer 2

I hesitate to join the which has more debate because I don't know for sure, but it seems that the caffeine in teas varies more than it does in coffee. Because of the way tea steeps, it has different levels of caffeine (and other stuff such as flavour and tanens) at different points in the process. If you want the most caffeine bang for your buck, the first cup of tea from a pot will have more than the last.
And also, the colour has nothing to do with caffeine. Green teas can have just as much if not more caffeine than some of the darker ones. Just in case you wanted to know.

Answer 3

A cup of coffee has more caffiene... since it takes less tea (by weight) to make a cup, but pound for pound, tea has more caffiene.

Answer 4

The world's primary source of caffeine is the coffee bean (the seed of the coffee plant), from which coffee is brewed. 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. In general one serving of coffee ranges from about 40 milligrams for a single shot (30 milliliters) of arabica-variety espresso to about 100 milligrams for strong drip coffee. Generally, dark-roast coffee has less caffeine than lighter roasts because the roasting process reduces the bean's caffeine content. Arabica coffee normally contains less caffeine than the robusta variety.


Tea is another 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 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. Teas like the green Japanese gyokuro, for example, contain far more caffeine than much darker teas like lapsang souchong, which has very little.

Answer 5

The amount of coffeine (sometimes referred to as theine in tea) coffee or tea contains depends alot on the type of beans/leafs as well as how the beans are roasted, so it's hard to give a generalized answer. I'd assume your tea simply contains more coffeine than the coffee you are usually drinking/you have tested.

Answer 6

Tea

Answer 7

Coffee, but it depends on the type of tea also. Straigh black tea (lipton) is as much as 1 cup of Coffee.

Answer 8

tea has more caffeine, BUT you will absorb more caffeine from a cup of coffee, so in effect coffee will give you more even though tea has more in it.
