The tannins in black tea can make an effective astringent. Some dentists will tell patients to chew on a tea bag to slow or stop bleeding after getting their wisdom teeth pulled. Never heard of coffee having the same effect though.
The granules dry the wound and accelerate clotting...The caffeine causes vasoconstriction which slows the bleeding, and the antioxidants will help prevent infection.
