<![CDATA[The Bina Siwi Disability Group in Bantul Regency holds agricultural land with clear potential as a source of productive economic activity, yet the use of butterfly pea flowers has remained suboptimal because of limited cultivation, processing, packaging, and marketing technologies. This community engagement programme aimed to strengthen the partner's capacity through the application of the Inclusive Trellised Pot System (SPBI) and the downstream processing of butterfly pea flowers into value-added herbal tea products. The programme used a participatory, learning-by-doing approach organised in the following stages: needs assessment, SPBI cultivation training, processing with a food dehydrator, product development and branding, and promotion and marketing. The results show that the partner's members acquired skills in applying the SPBI and in processing butterfly pea flowers with a dehydrator. The programme also produced the TELAVIA brand with three product variants: original loose-leaf butterfly pea tea, butterfly pea tea bags in pouches, and butterfly pea and roselle tea bags in boxes. On the marketing side, the partner now has a brand identity, packaging, and brochures as promotional media. These results indicate that combining appropriate technology, product innovation, and participatory empowerment can improve the production and business readiness of disability groups while opening opportunities for inclusive economic independence.]]>
