That's incorrect. Coffee has more caffeine than green tea.
Green tea: 30–50 mg
Instant coffee: 27–173 mg
Plain, brewed coffee: 102–200 mg
Espresso: 240–720 mg
Black tea: 25–110 mg
Yerba mate: 65–130 mg
Soft drinks: 23–37 mg
Energy drinks: 72–80 mg

Info appears to be varying wildly, but I acknowledge your point, thanks.
Still, tea can be used as an alternative source of caffeine, and it would certainly be better for your health than going all energy drinks.
yerba mate is actually a decent replacement for coffee with the slight problem of it being more bitter than pure caffeine
