Does Green Tea Contain More Caffeine Than English Tea?

I like to drink green tea because I like the flavor, and just wonder if green tea contains more caffeine than English tea. Please support your answer with scientific evidence, thanks.

    Well I can't scientifically give you evidence but on the box of green tea that I have it says naturally decaffeinated so I would assume that the english tea has more caffeine.

        Caffeine content is affected by the length of the infusion in water. Black tea infused for 5 minutes yields 40-100 milligrams, whereas a 3-minute infusion produces 20-40 milligrams, or half as much.
        Because tea bags contain broken leaves of smaller size (English Tea), they produce an infusion with more caffeine than loose tea does (Green Tea).
