Caffeine was first discovered in tea in 1827, and was named theine. It was later found in mate and various other plants. Eventually it was shown that the theine of tea was identical with the caffeine of coffee, and the term theine was then dropped.

The amount of caffeine in coffee or tea depends on a number of factors, including the variety of coffee bean or tea leaf, where it is grown, particle size used, (the particular coffee " grind " or tea leaf cut), and the method and length of brewing or steeping.

I do not think I could just stop drinking black tea. I'm too hooked after years of drinking it.
