I think the misconception is caused by the fact that 
unbrewed tea has more caffeine than unbrewed coffee; 
however, the caffeine in tea in less water soluble 
than in coffee.  Also you get more brewed cups out of
a pound of tea than of coffee.  
So cup for cup tea has less caffeine.

Or so I've been told -- I worked for a coffee and tea
shop a few years ago.
