Passion flowers can be processed into herbal tea by drying because they contain flavonoids andansiolytic effects. Drying temperature is an important factor because it can affect bioactivecompounds present in materials. The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of dryingtemperature on the characteristics of passion flower powder herbal tea and determine the dryingtemperature that can produce the best passion flower powder herbal tea. This study used the GroupRandomized Design by drying temperatures divided into three levels: 50-2°C, 60-2°C, and 70-2°C.Based on the implementation time, to do this, it can be grouped into 5 times which then obtain 15 testunits. The data obtained are analyzed in the variant and if it affects the observed variables, a (BNJ) isperformed. The results of the analysis indicate that drying temperature has a very real effect onextract content in water, total ash content, crude fiber content, total phenol, total flavonoids,antioxidant capacity, and panelist preferences for overall product acceptance. The study found thatthe drying temperature treatment of 60–2°C was the best treatment produced by herbal tea withcharacteristics: water extract content 44.28%, total ash content 7.85%, crude fiber content 16.29%,total phenolic content 58.53mg GAE/g, total flavonoid 41.55mg GAE/g, antioxidant capacity 21.81 mgGAE/g, and the overall acceptance score of 4.10. dihasilkan teh herbal dengan karakteristik: kadar ekstrak pada air 44,28%, kadar abu total 7,85%,kadar serat kasar 16,29%, total fenolik 58,53mg GAE/g total flavonoid 41,55mg QE/g, kapasitasantioksidan 21,81 mg GAE/g, dan penerimaan keseluruhan suka dengan nilai sebesar 4,10.
