Disclosed in the present invention are a method for preparing tealeaf extracts having different tastes, and a beverage prepared using extracts made by the method. The method involves adding tealeaves to an extraction column, performing continuous extraction using water at 5° C.-140° C. at a flow rate of 20-200 mL/min, collecting liquid extracts in sections, and drawing a relative taste intensity curve; and according to a taste variation shown in the relative taste intensity curve, recombining collected liquid extracts of different sections. The method of the present invention can produce tealeaf extracts having high grade taste and high concentration without the need for a concentration step, the extraction yield is high, and the sensory attributes of the tealeaf extracts can be rebalanced in a very flexible manner, so as to obtain beverages of different tastes.
