Abstract: A pretreatment device includes: a medium support portion configured to support a medium that is transported; a pretreatment-agent ejecting portion configured to eject a pretreatment agent; an absorbing-member support portion configured to support an absorbing member between the medium and the pretreatment-agent ejecting portion in a direction in which the pretreatment agent is ejected, the absorbing member being configured to absorb the pretreatment agent ejected from the pretreatment-agent ejecting portion; and a pressing unit configured to press, toward the medium, the absorbing member to which the pretreatment agent is ejected from the pretreatment-agent ejecting portion.

Abstract: A green tea beverage is packed in a container, which makes it possible to sense a deep aroma passing through the nasal cavity when the beverage is drunk cold, in particular even when time has passed since the container was opened and the beverage temperature has increased and become lukewarm, by adjusting the ratio (SSS/SS) of the concentration of settleable suspended solids (SSS) to the concentration of suspended solids (SS) in the green tea beverage to 0.07 to 0.48 and adjusting the ratio (sucrose/sugars) of the concentration of sucrose to the concentration of sugars, which is the sum of the concentration of monosaccharide and the concentration of disaccharide, to 0.74 to 0.94.

Abstract: There has been a need to provide a green tea beverage packed in a container which exhibits a smooth feeling in the throat and a lingering taste when the beverage is drunk cold, in particular even when time has passed since the container was opened and the beverage temperature has increased and become lukewarm. The present invention provides a green tea beverage packed in a container which exhibits a smooth feeling in the throat and a lingering taste when the beverage is drunk cold, in particular even when time has passed since the container was opened and the beverage temperature has increased and become lukewarm, by adjusting a particle diameter of cumulative 90 mass % (D90) in a tea extracted liquid to 3 ?m to 60 ?m and adjusting a sugar/tartness degree ratio to 0.12 to 0.43.
