(NSFW/Gross) Why do tea and coffee effect me in different ways, digestively?

When I drink tea (real tea, black), I have to pee right away. It goes straight through me; often I have to pee even before I’m done with my tea. Coffee, however, takes about half an hour after I’m finished consuming it to make me pee. It also does some things with my bowels, but that’s a different issue.
So, coffee has more caffeine than tea. From a brewing standpoint, they are the same. So why does tea make me go right away, but coffee has a half-hour delay?
