There is also a difference in how body absorbs caffeine.

With coffee there are spikes in the energy while with the tea the caffeine is absorbed over a greater period of time.

I've stopped drinking coffee for that reason, now having a cup or two only on Sunday. Before I was drinking two, three sometimes more cups during the day and was really anxious. Came back to green tea and the energy is more balanced now.

Tea also contains L-arganin, which is a nutrient depleted by caffeine. Having not enough contributes to the "jitters" people experience drinking coffee, so this is one reason tea drinking can be a bit less harsh.
