There has been a need to provide a green tea beverage packed in a container which exhibits a smooth feeling in the throat and a lingering taste when the beverage is drunk cold, in particular even when time has passed since the container was opened and the beverage temperature has increased and become lukewarm. The present invention provides a green tea beverage packed in a container which exhibits a smooth feeling in the throat and a lingering taste when the beverage is drunk cold, in particular even when time has passed since the container was opened and the beverage temperature has increased and become lukewarm, by adjusting a particle diameter of cumulative 90 mass % (D90) in a tea extracted liquid to 3 &mu；m to 60 &mu；m and adjusting a sugar/tartness degree ratio to 0.12 to 0.43.人們在尋求一種即使在冷卻的狀態飲用的時候，尤其是開栓後經時液溫上昇變溫的情況下，也具備喉韻良好與味道餘韻的容器裝綠茶飲料。藉由將綠茶飲料的茶萃取液中90累計質量%的粒子徑(D90)調整3μm~60μm且將甜酸味度比調整為0.12~0.43，可提供一種即使在冷卻的狀態飲用的時候，尤其是開栓後經時液溫上昇變溫的情況下，具備喉韻良好與味道餘韻的容器裝綠茶飲料。
