The study, Development of a Tea Blend using three local ingredients Oregano, Dalandan, and
Turmeric loose tea is to offer a new blend of fruity and herbal beverages but also aims to promote
sustainable, eco-friendly packaging, contributing to environmental preservation while celebrating
the rich agricultural heritage of the Philippines. Dehydration was employed as the primary
processing method to ensure the preservation of the ingredient’s quality and nutritional properties.
The research followed a systematic process, including raw material procurement, dehydration,
formulation, and labeling production. Proximate, sensory, and microbiological analysis were
conducted by Intertek Testing Services Philippines, Inc. and Technological University of the
Philippines - Manila to assess the tea blend’s quality and safety. Results indicated that the
ingredients adhered to safety standards, with oregano showing an Standard Plate Count of (530
CFU/g) and (<10 CFU/g) for E. coli, Turmeric recording (400,000 est CFU/g), SPC and (<10
CFU/g) for E. coli , and dalandan registering SPC and E. coli counts of (<10 CFU/g.) Proximate
analysis revealed low moisture contents of 8.90%, 7.18%, and 10.54% for oregano, turmeric, and
dalandan, respectively, ensuring product stability and resistance to spoilage. Sensory evaluation,
Conducted using a 9-point hedonic scale, demonstrated high consumer acceptability in terms of
color, aroma, taste, texture and general acceptability. The tea blend met FDA regulations and was
approved for human consumption. This study demonstrates the potential of locally sourced
ingredients in creating high-quality, safe, and consumer-accepted products, contributing to the
innovation of functional beverages in the market.
