Process for producing a toner

A process for producing a toner comprising:

• a first step of heating a dispersion containing an aqueous medium and a binder resin containing a crystalline resin to a temperature higher than or equal to a melting point of the crystalline resin in a production step for forming a toner base particle by aggregating and fusing a fine particle of the binder resin containing the crystalline resin in the presence of a metal ion;
• and
• a second step of maintaining the dispersion at temperature T (° C.) for 30 minutes or longer in a state where a pH of the dispersion is maintained at 5.5 or higher and 9.0 or lower, the temperature T satisfying the following expression, Rc−25≦T≦Rc−5, wherein the Rc represents a recrystallization temperature (° C.) of the crystalline resin.
