PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing a purified product of a Pu-erh tea extract that has little color and flavor intrinsic to tea, blends well with a variety of foods and drinks, and can reduce the greasiness of food left in the mouse after eating; and a food or drink containing the same.SOLUTION: A method of producing a purified product of a Pu-erh tea extract includes: (1) an extraction process for obtaining an extract by adding boiled water to Pu-erh tea leaves; (2) a separation process for separating the Pu-erh tea leaves and the extract; and (3) a purification process in which one of the following processes (a) to (c) is performed: (a) a purification process for contacting the extract with an organic solvent to dissolve the extract in the organic solvent, and recovering the organic solvent fraction; (b) a purification process for cooling the extract for separation into deposits that form in the solution and non-deposits; or (c) a purification process for fractioning the extract by column chromatography according to differences in polarity, charge and molecular size.【課題】茶本来の色・風味が少なく、各種飲食品への配合性が良好であり、かつ食後の口内に残る食事の油っぽさを低減できるプーアル茶抽出物の精製物の製造方法、及びその精製物を含有する飲食品を提供する。【解決手段】(1)プーアル茶葉に熱水を加えて抽出物を得る抽出工程、(2)前記プーアル茶葉と抽出物とを分離する分離工程、(3)次の(a)~(c)からなる工程のうちの一つを実施する精製工程;(a)前記の抽出物と有機溶媒を接触させ、前記の抽出物を有機溶媒に転溶し、有機溶媒画分を回収する精製工程、(b)前記の抽出物を冷却することにより、溶液中に生じる析出物と非析出物とに分別する精製工程、又は(c)前記の抽出物をカラムクロマト処理により極性、電荷、分子サイズの違いによって分画する精製工程を備えることを特徴とするプーアル茶抽出物の精製物の製造方法によって達成される。【選択図】なし
