This is why I only drink tea. Coffee leaves me all jittery.

Low-calorie, low-caffeine, lovely to taste and a nice warm cup to start the day. What's not to like?

According to google ...

Coffee: 95mg / 8oz

1 shot espresso: 64 mg / 1oz

Black Tea: 30mg / 8 oz

Green Tea: 35mg / 8 oz

I think you are confusing the idea of tea leaves having more caffeine than coffee beans with the final brewed product, as brewed tea almost always has significantly less caffeine than brewed coffee.

I hear people say this a lot but I don't know where you're getting your coffee if that's the case. Any time I have a coffee I'm bouncing off the walls after, whereas a tea is very subtle in comparison.

Maybe the American filter coffee isn't as strong? You can only get espresso-based coffee here.

Counterintuitively, drip coffee actually contains more caffeine per serving than espresso.
