Tea has more caffeine than coffee weight for weight but tea uses less grams in the cup so a cup of tea has less caffeine than a cup of coffee so probably the same thing may apply for antioxidants

∙ 14y agoGreen tea is a superpower among other teas in terms of antioxidants. Although, rumors of other teas such as black tea, are thought to have a lower antioxidant count. When in truth they are equally beneficial as green tea in other ways. Black tea is manufactured with other particles that eventually adapt to form and promote oxidant fighting nutrients in the blood. Other well known high antioxidant tea next to green tea, is white, redbush and honey bush teas.
If I had to make a list of teas to focus on to get a good amount of antioxidants it would be the following:
1. White Tea
2. Green Tea
3. Oolong Tea
4. Yellow Tea
5. Pu-erh Tea
p.s. If your main focus is getting more antioxidants, I would consider consuming more grapes as well. When I conducted a project on cancer and alternative medicine, grapes was used as a way to fight oxidants in the blood without patients using heavy dosages of medicines.
(Hope this helps)

∙ 12y agoTrue tea is made from only one plant, dried leaves of the camellia plant (camellia sinensis). Camellia leaves are very high in antioxidants. There are many other kinds of plants that are steeped in hot water to make a drink that is sort of like a tea, but they aren't really tea. Tisane is another name for these herbs in hot water drinks. There are so many different kinds of herbs that can be soaked in water, that it depends on what individual herbs a person is using to find out what antioxidants it may or may not contain. Black tea and green tea (camellia sinensis) are healthy drinks, for any other plants you need to consult an herb guide or book.

Project report on comparison of caffeine in tea and coffee?
Coffee has more caffeine than tea. For more details about tea: Most "tea" such as black, green and white tea are all made from the same plant called Camellia Sinensis. However, black tea has the most caffeine, then green, then white. This is because white tea is made from new camellia sinensis leaves (or baby tea leaves they are sometimes called), green tea is made when the leaves are a little older, and black tea is made from even older leaves. White tea also has the most antioxidants (beneficial). The newer the leaves, the more antioxidants and the less caffeine a tea has. The older the leaves, the less antioxidants and more caffeine it will have. Hope this was helpful! = )

Green tea in fact is one of the highest naturally occurring sources of caffeine. Tea drinkers site naturally occurring sources of antioxidants, fluoride and tannins in tea and the anecdotal health benefits of these elements.
