Caffeine is the major diuretic cause in green tea. Fresher and finer green tea typically has more caffeine gram to gram than coffee beans, but mostly people put 1 g of tealeaves to 100 ml water, but 5 to 10 g coffee for the same, and coffee is ground for more thorough infusion of its substances into water and tea is not. As a result, caffeine in coffee is generally higher in practice and therefore coffee drinking more drying. However, when green tea is made strong, the caffeine content can be high. Repeated drinking of strong green tea would lead to this drying effect.
