Tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant, while coffee is derived from the Coffea plant. Both contain naturally occurring caffeine, which acts as a stimulant. The caffeine found in tea and coffee is produced by the plants as a defense mechanism against pests and to inhibit the growth of competing plants.

How do plants make caffeine?

Caffeine occurs naturally in a number of plants. The most well-known of these are tea, coffee, and the cocoa plant. Coffee and tea contain more caffeine than the cocoa plant, which just contains small amounts. There are other plants, however, which naturally contain caffeine. These include yerba mate, guayusa, and yaupon, which are all species of holly. A few other species of holly also contain some caffeine. Another unrelated plant (related to maple trees actually), called guarana, contains caffeine. There may be others but these are the only plants that I know of that contain caffeine.

Tea has caffeine?

Yes, tea contains caffeine. All types of traditional tea varieties, like green, black, white, and oolong, come from the Camellia sinensis plant, which naturally contains caffeine. However, the herbal teas are made from plants other than the Camellia sinensis, and generally do not contain caffeine. How much caffeine a tea contains depends on factors like the type of tea, water temperature, and brewing time. Usually, the black tea contains more caffeine, ranging from 40 to 50 mg per 8-oz serving. On the other hand, oolong tea contains around 40 mg, and green tea contains approximately 20-30 mg. Even the decaffeinated tea still contains caffeine, generally around 4mg per 8-oz serving. While the tea contains caffeine, the absorption of caffeine from the tea is usually slower than from coffee.
