PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a green tea beverage moderately having flavor specific to green tea, delicious taste and rich taste, presenting pale greenish-yellow color tone, and free from generation of turbidity or deterioration in the greenish-yellow color even when stored for a long time (30 days or more). SOLUTION: A stabilizer for a green tea beverage has CMC-Na having 0.6-0.9 of an etherification degree and 3-300 mPa s of viscosity of 2 wt.% aqueous solution. The tea beverage is obtained by adjusting the aqueous solution containing 0.1-1.0 wt.% of CMC-Na to pH 8.0-10.0, extracting green tea using the aqueous solution at 40-70°C followed by adjusting the extract liquid to pH 6.0-7.0, adding water to the extract liquid to regulate the extract liquid so as to have transmittance of 80-95% at 660 nm measured with a spectrophotometer, subjecting the extracted liquid to heat sterilization and thereafter to cooling treatment, filling the beverage in a package container and hermetically sealing the container.
