PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a packaged tea beverage excellent in flavor and the preservation stability of a composition.SOLUTION: The packaged tea beverage is obtained by mixing a tea extract whose ratio of catechin gallates in nonpolymerized catechin is <50 mass% with a tea extracted solution. The packaged tea beverage contains (A) 0.072-0.4 mass% of nonpolymerized catechin, and (B) 21-150 ppm of gallic acid. The ratio of catechin gallates in nonpolymerized catechin is 0-50 mass%, and an epi body ratio is 30-60 mass%.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】風味及び組成の保存安定性の良好な容器詰茶飲料の提供。【解決手段】茶抽出液に非重合体カテキン類中のガレート体カテキン率が50質量%未満である茶抽出物を配合して、(A)非重合体カテキン類0.072~0.4質量%、及び(B)没食子酸21~150ppmを含有し、非重合体カテキン類中のガレート体カテキン率が0~50質量%であり、エピ体率が30~60質量%である容器詰茶飲料。【選択図】なし
