Instant green tea

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To prepare the titled green tea having improved quality and further a taste thereof suitable for the moderns, by incorporating green tea flour in a granular or liquid monosaccharide or polysaccharide obtained from a starch as a raw material alone or a composite thereof, and compatibilizing them. CONSTITUTION:A flour of green tea, e.g. green tea of extended leaves, is stirred with a polysaccharide, e.g. malt dextrin, or a monosaccharide, e.g. glucose or fructose, prepared from a starch as a raw material in the form of granules or a concentrated syrup and an adequate amount of water to compatibilize the flour of the green tea of extended leaves well therewith. The resultant compatibilized mixture is then fermented to prepare a creamy green tea having deep green color unique to the green tea. The resultant instant green tea is poured into hot water and dissolved therein to give the aimed drink, capable of giving the same bright green color as that in decocting refined green tea leaves with hot water, and having a taste suitable for the moderns containing the added taste of the saccharide.
