Huge quantities of waste are being discarded, as a consequence increasing economic problems,
as well as polluting the environment. Cocoa shells are one of the examples of chocolate by-products that
are mostly treated as a waste. Cocoa bean shells could be developed into many potential beverage
products with beneficial nutritional value. Thus, the development of cocoa husk tea as a herbal tea is
done. However, the acceptability of cocoa husk tea in Indonesia is still unknown due to the rare-existence
of it in Indonesia. Therefore, the acceptance of cocoa husk tea was done by sensory evaluation, hedonic
9 scale to understand the acceptance and FCP (Flash choice Profiling) with scoring afterwards to
understand the characteristic. The cold and hot brewing method done, to comprehend the difference in
characteristics and likeability. The control sample used in this experiment is black tea (Camellia sinensis).
Comparing all 4 samples, panelists preferred the darker color of tea, but moderate attributes of aroma,
taste, sweet, bitter, sour, and nutty, not too strong. The highest acceptance was obtained by cold brew
black tea. However, the acceptance of all of the 4 samples was descriptively no significant difference. The
overall acceptance was highly correlated with taste. Thus, it can be concluded that cacao husk tea was as
well accepted as black tea, the most commonly consumed tea. It was also proven that cold brewing
methods are able to produce a less bitter, less astringent, less intense color and aroma. Cacao husk tea
has a big potential to be sold as a beverage product that is able to reduce waste and increase profits of
the industry.
