Nowadays, the development of the food industry relies heavily on the valorisation of some products with a high content of beneficial compounds for the human body. Through the studies and research, but following the results, it was intended to obtain tea enriched with various natural compounds (antioxidants, vitamins, minerals) by harvesting the fruits of rose, cranberry, goji and coconut, naturally sweetened with steviol. Subsequent to obtaining, we performed physicochemical laboratory tests, in which we tracked the antioxidant capacity, total polyphenol content, vitamin C content, and acidity. As a result, we have traced the qualities of each fruit in order to achieve a better combination of taste, colour and nutritional properties.
