Abstract :
In this area many people choose to be practical and fast to use. Also included
in functional drinks. At this time many functional drinks have been developed that are
not only sourced from tea leaves but can also come from other natural ingredients or
which are often known as herbal tea. In the suggested research to determine the total
phenolic levels of herbal steeping tea and cashew leaf decoction. This research was
conducted by brewing and boiling cashew leaves weighing 5 g then tested on Uv-Vis
spectrophotometer at a wavelength to 742.0nm and obtained absorbance on cashew
herbal tea leaves which is 0.3923 and absorbance on the cashew leaf decoction tea
namely 0.3493. Obtained average steeping levels of 1.9035% GAE. And the average
stew content is 1,274% GAE
Conclusion: Cashew tea steeping herbal tea has an average total phenolic content
that is equal to 1.9035% GAE ± 0.0042913 with% KV of 0.2254%, and for herbal tea
of cashew leaf decoction the average total phenolic content is equal to 1.2741% GAE
± 0.002612 with% KV of 0.2096%. Total phenolic levels of steeping herbal tea and
cashew leaf decoction have significant differences.
