Abstract
The oolong tea beverage is produced by a cold water treatment step of bringing raw material oolong tea leaves into contact with water adjusted at pH about 4 to 6 and 25° C. or lower, eluting and removing about 11 to 26% caffeine from the raw material oolong tea leaves by carrying out solid-liquid separation, and recovering the treated tea leaves; and a hot water extraction step of recovering hot water extract to be a beverage raw material containing nerolidol by extracting the treated tea leaves with hot water at about 90 to 95° C. containing vitamin C and adjusted at pH about 4 to 6 and then carrying out solid-liquid separation. The cold water treatment step enables eluting and removing caffeine and the hot water extraction step enables extracting more nerolidol, which is a flow scent component particular in high quality oolong teas.
