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.

By weight yes, but once you brew it tea has less caffeine than coffee (coffee has about 80mg while black tea is about 40mg per cup). These numbers are dependent on the type of tea/coffee and how you brew it but under almost all circumstances a cup of tea will have less caffeine.

A cup of black tea has about one-third the caffeine of an equal portion of drip coffee. Green tea, processed less than black tea, has even less caffeine. Green tea usually contains less caffeine than cola drinks and chocolate.
