Little by little nova is growing on me.
Still I wont leave the anniemaniacs!

Yah appreciate the suggestion, and I'm aware of the caffeine delivery mechanism difference, so tea is preferable in its method, the problem is, at the end of the day, it's still orders of magnitude difference. Like when tea drinkers talk about making a "strong cup" that has more bags in the pot and steeped longer, you're really still talking about 20-30 mg. Whereas I can make a cup of drip coffee in 4 minutes that punches out 200+ mg.Try Keemum, that's a proper nice black tea!
I always remember being told that tea has more caffeine than coffee, which is technically true (when unbrewed).
Tea leaves have 3.5% caffeine, whereas coffee beans only have 1-2.2%, but coffee has more extracted, more quickly, by the hot water than tea does.
Coffee is quick release, you get it all in one hit, whereas tea is much slower. It's like the difference between getting glucose from a can of coke, as opposed to long chain carbs that take hours to convert to glucogen.
If you want tea with more caffeine, add more tea to the pot & just leave it to steep for longer.
