The color, flavor and taste were compared for steamed and roasted coarse green tea and data were obtained through a questionaire on preference for green tea, coffee, black tea and oolong tea in 1993-1994 conducted on 183 young and 74 elder females, aged 19-20 and 40-70 respectively. Coarse green tea used in this study was produced in July 1993 in Kumamoto. The tea leaves (3g) were infused with boiling water (100ml) for 3 min.<BR>The result was as follows: While the elder females prefer the color, taste and flavor of the steamed coarse green tea to roasted tea, the young females prefer the flavor of roasted coarse green tea to steamed tea. In conclustion, the total sensory evaluation of steamed tea may be dependent on taste rather than flavor, while that of roasted coarse green tea depends on flavor as well as taste.<BR>71% of the elder females like green tea, and the young females like green tea as well as coffee or black tea.
