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.【課題】冷やして飲用する場合、とりわけ開栓後に時間が経過して液温が上昇してぬるくなった場合であっても、喉越しの良さと味の余韻を備えた容器詰緑茶飲料を提供する。【解決手段】原料の乾燥（火入）加工や抽出液の濾過により、緑茶飲料における、茶抽出液中の９０積算質量％の粒子径（Ｄ９０）を３μｍ～６０μｍに調整し、且つ糖酸味度比を０．１２～０．４３に調整した容器詰緑茶飲料とする。【選択図】なし
