No - its coffee... but tea does have caffeine in it but not as much...
By weight, tea has more caffeine. However, coffee is heavier and you use less when making a brew. So your wife is right BUT you consume less actual tea when making a cuppa.
It's coffee. Here's the chart:

Coffee has more. For sure...
instant coffee up to 100mg in half a pint
brewed tea up to 60mg in same measure
its coffe that has more caffine
No, it's coffee.
Some coffees contain more caffeine that others and same goes for teas but in general coffee contains a lot more caffeine or people would drink tea in the morning.
The strongest tea I believe is black tea but still contains much less caffeine than coffee does.
set her straight?
OK
"you have a dim hubby and can basque in the glory knowing you are technically correct!" i stress the word TECHNICALLY
Tea leaves do contain more caffeine than coffee beans. However when brewed into a beverage a cup of coffee will generally have 3X the amount of caffeine than a same sized cup of tea. However caffeine values for both beverages vary widely depending on the type of beans/leaves used and the brewing method as well as the amount of beans/leaves used.

While coffee and tea are both sources of caffeine, the amounts of caffeine in any single serving of these beverages varies significantly. An average serving of coffee contains the most caffeine, yet the same serving size of tea provides only 1/2 to 1/3 as much.(Ref.: Caffeine by The Institute of Food Technologists' Expert Panel on Food Safety & Nutrition.) One of the more confusing aspects of caffeine content is the fact that coffee contains less caffeine than tea when measured in its dry form. The caffeine content of a prepared cup of coffee is significantly higher than the caffeine content of a prepared cup of tea.

coffee
Definitely coffee
I thought the same but coffe has more and as I just learned lighter roasts over darker.
From wikipedia:
"The world's primary source of caffeine is the coffee bean (the seed of the coffee plant), from which coffee is brewed. Caffeine content in coffee varies widely depending on the type of coffee bean and the method of preparation used;[13] even beans within a given bush can show variations in concentration. In general, one serving of coffee ranges from 40 milligrams, for a single shot (30 milliliters) of arabica-variety espresso, to about 100 milligrams for a cup (120 milliliters) of drip coffee. Generally, dark-roast coffee has less caffeine than lighter roasts because the roasting process reduces the bean's caffeine content.[14][15] Arabica coffee normally contains less caffeine than the robusta variety.[13] Coffee also contains trace amounts of theophylline, but no theobromine.
Tea is another common source of caffeine. Tea usually contains about half as much caffeine per serving as coffee, depending on the strength of the brew. Certain types of tea, such as black and oolong, contain somewhat more caffeine than most other teas. Tea contains small amounts of theobromine and slightly higher levels of theophylline than coffee. Preparation has a significant impact on tea, and color is a very poor indicator of caffeine content.[16] Teas like the pale Japanese green tea gyokuro, for example, contain far more caffeine than much darker teas like lapsang souchong, which has very little."
its coffee
There has been much concern in the United States recently about the possible dangers of caffeine. As regards tea, it should be noted that all types of tea contain less caffeine than coffee. The caffeine content of some of our teas is available --------- source ask.com
Some years ago I saw it on tv - they said if you use 1 teabag per person/1 teaspoon of coffee per person then there was more caffeine in the tea. But if people used loose tea and made a pot, generally you wouldn't be using the same amount of tea as you would with 1 teabag per person, so you would be getting less caffeine than coffee.
its actually coffee.......
