Tea leaves have more caffeine than coffee beans before they are brewed. However, tea is diluted quite a bit more than most coffees. The average cup of tea contains about half as much caffeine as the average cup of instant coffee, and the average cup of instant coffee contains about half as much caffeine as a cup of proper espresso coffee.

Tea contains more caffeine that coffee is an urban myth? Read on

Yes, old myth.

And of course, most herbal teas contain no caffeine at all. And, like coffee, there are plenty of decaf teas, if you really need one.

My experience is that one cup of coffee will prevent me from sleeping until it wears off, while drinking numerous teas or colas has absolutely no effect on me. Anyone else experience this discrepency?
