Tea is a herbal drink that is consumed by many people. The processing of stoic bamboo leaves (Gigantochloa nigrociliata BUSE-KURZ) into tea is an effort to utilize the compounds in it that are able to give a distinctive character to the results of tea products later. This research was conducted with the aim of determining the results and characteristics of herbal tea stoic bamboo leaves from different treatment time withering and drying temperature. This study uses a Completely Randomized Design consisting of two factors, the first factor used in this research design is withering time and the second factor is the drying temperature. The first factor consists of three levels, namely (P1): 8 hours withering, (P2): 10 hours withering, and (P3): 12 hours withering. The second factor consists of three levels, namely (T1): temperature 50 ° C, (T2): temperature 60 °C, and (T3): temperature 70 ° C. The parameters observed in the study consisted of chemical analysis including water content, pH, total acid, total phenol, total flavonoids and organoleptic tests consisting of the color of the brewing water, aroma, and taste in the brewed tea leaves. The results showed that the highest phenol content was found in the treatment withered time of 12 hours with a drying temperature of 70oC is 114.5664 mg / 100g. For the best total flavonoids in the treatment withered time 12 hours with a drying temperature of 70 oC that is 27.1697 mg
