from what i understand (and i accept that i may be completely wrong) when tea leaves are picked they're green and to get them brown, they have to be fermented or something, how come the more natural (green) tea has less caffeine than normal tea?

Certain conents of green tea such as moisture and oyher volatile substances r not present in brown tea.coz they evaporate.
So absolute amount of caffeine is same in both but if u take percentage then brown tea has more due to less material having same caffeine

it has to do with how the teas are processed after it's picked. White, green, oolong and black tea all start with fresh camilla tea leaves. To get green tea, you wither the leaves, steam or pan fry them, roll and dry them, and then you've got green tea. For black tea, it's withered, rolled, fermented, and then fired. So it sounds like you've got the right idea.
