Disclosed is a green tea beverage packed in a container which has a strong fire odor (savory odor), yet gives a refreshing aftertaste and can be drunk delectably even in a cold state. Specifically disclosed is a green tea beverage packed in a container characterized in that the saccharide concentration thereof, which is the sum of the monosaccharide concentration and the disaccharide concentration, is 100 to 300 ppm and the ratio of the disaccharide concentration to the monosaccharide concentration (disaccharides/monosaccharides) is 10 to 28. It is preferred that the ratio of catechins with electron localization to said saccharide concentration (catechins with electron localization/saccharides) is 1.0 to 2.5.本發明係提供烘焙香(茶香)強烈且具備清爽喉韻,於冷涼狀態飲用亦美味的容器包裝之綠茶飲料。本發明之容器包裝之綠茶飲料,特徵係單糖濃度與雙糖濃度合計的糖類濃度為100 ppm~300 ppm,對於單糖濃度之雙糖濃度的比率(雙糖/單糖)為10~28。進而,對於前述糖類濃度之電子侷限兒茶素濃度的比率(電子侷限兒茶素/糖類)以1.0~2.5為佳。
