PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a packaged caffeine-reduced green-tea beverage which has a sense of concentration due to roasted aroma, sharp taste in spite of having astringent richness and can be enjoyed even in a cooled state. SOLUTION: The packaged green-tea beverage is characterized by having a caffeine concentration of less than 90 ppm, a total sugar concentration (obtained by adding the concentration of nonreducing sugars and the concentration of reducing sugars) that falls within the range of 100-300 ppm; a ratio of the concentration of the nonreducing sugar to the concentration of the reducing sugar (nonreducing sugar/reducing sugar) of 13.0-23.0 and a ratio of the concentration of ester catechins to the concentration of sugars(ester catechins/sugars) of 0.4-1.1.
