PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a tea extract especially having excellent flavor by carrying out the extraction without extracting excessive astringency and harsh taste contained in a tea leaf. SOLUTION: The method for producing the tea extract includes the extraction step of extracting the tea leaves with warm water, the first collection step of collecting the tea extract by subjecting the tea extract and the used tea leaves obtained at the extraction step to solid-liquid separation to separate the tea extract from the used tea leaves, and the second collection step of adding water in an amount of 0.5-10 times as much as the mass of the tea leaves at a temperature lower than that of the warm water used in the extraction step, and collecting the added water with the tea extract not collected at the first collection step.
