Coffee vs tea
In short
For the same 100 calories you eat 10000 g of coffee or 10000 g of tea. Most of the calories in coffee come from protein. Most of those in tea come from carbohydrate.
More in coffee: riboflavin (5.4×), niacin, thiamin, choline (6.5×) and 7 more. More in tea: copper (5×), folate (2.5×), carbohydrates, iron (2×) and sodium. Everything else is within 4% of a day's needs.

Where they differ
Bar length is the share of a day's needs (FDA Daily Value) in 100 calories of each. Every row uses the same scale, so a short difference in length is a small difference. Color says which food, never which is better.
