Abstract: To provide a packaged high-catechin beverage in which a low-caffeine green tea extract is added. A packaged beverage containing from 0.03 to 1.0 wt % of non-polymer catechins, in which a low-caffeine green tea extract obtained by a method of brining a green tea extract into contact with a 91/9 to 97/3 by weight mixture of an organic solvent and water, activated carbon, and acid clay or activated clay is added.

Abstract: Provided is a polyphenol composition derived from Camellia sinensis and having reduced harshness. The polyphenol composition according to the invention is derived from Camellia sinensis and contains flavonol aglycones and flavonol glycosides. A weight ratio [(B)/(A)] of the following total contents (B) to (A) is from 0.01 to 18: (A) total content of the flavonol aglycones contained in solids of the polyphenol composition after hydrolysis as measured by high-performance liquid chromatography, and (B) total content of the polyphenols contained in solids of the polyphenol composition as measured by the ferrous tartrate method.
