PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an instant green tea which sufficiently gives a good taste and smell, when drunk, exhibits a vivid green color both as a powder and after dissolved in water, and scarcely shows sedimentation of the tea powder from the dissolution of the powder to the finish of the drinking. SOLUTION: Provided are the instant green tea containing a dry green tea extract, a drying auxiliary agent, antioxidants, a tea powder and a specific amount of potassium. A method for producing the instant green tea includes: a step of extracting tea leaves with an extraction solvent which contains a drying auxiliary agent and a first antioxidant and is adjusted to a pH value within the neutral range by using a first potassium preparation to give a liquid extract; a step of adding a second antioxidant and a tea powder to the liquid extract thus obtained; and a step of drying the liquid extract after the above addition step.
