PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a green tea composition scarcely having bitter and rough tastes but having such a mellow taste that a superior green tea or a green tea of high grade has, even when a conventional green tea, such as a green tea of low grade and a coarse tea, is used as a raw material for the green tea composition, and to provide a method for producing the composition, capable of producing the composition at a low cost. SOLUTION: This green tea composition is obtained by adding algae belonging to Chlorella genus to the green tea, especially to the green tea of low grade, wherein the added algae scarcely containα-cellulose, are easily made to be dissolved with an alkali, have cell walls extremely easily broken in a mechanical manner, and produce CGF having approximately same quantity and quality to those of the CGF which conventional algae belonging to the Chlorella genus cultured in the light produce in the cell walls when the algae are cultured in the dark. A potable liquid containing the green tea composition is produced by the method.
