Clarity, Color, Packaged Tea, Ranking Test SweetnessAbstract
Tea is a favorite drink in Indonesia that is rich in minerals and vitamins. Packaged tea
is the second most consumed tea beverage after brewed tea, with consumption reaching
2 billion liters per year. This practicum aims to identify consumer preferences for the
sensory quality of packaged tea so that it can be a reference in the production and
development of products according to market tastes. The ranking test method was used
by involving 15 untrained panelists to assess five tea samples based on the attributes of
color, clarity, and sweetness. The assessment uses a score of 1–5, where a higher score
indicates lower quality. The results showed differences in panelist perceptions of the
three attributes. Sample code 681 was most preferred in terms of color, sample 857
was significantly superior in clarity, and sample 472 scored the best for sweetness.
Clarity and sweetness proved to be the main factors in determining the quality of
packaged tea according to consumers. Natural color and clarity and balanced
sweetness were preferred, becoming an important guide for manufacturers. Further
research involving trained panelists, adding other sensory attributes, and expanding
consumer segments for more representative results is recommended.
