Quality characteristics of Chrysanthemum indicum L. flower tea were investigated with the number of pan-firing. Total nitrogen, tannin and caffeine contents of tea were increased as the number of pan-firing increased, whereas chlorophyll and total amino acid (AA) contents were decreased. TAA content was in the range of 5,226~6,561 mg% with the number of pan-firing. The content of caffeine and chlorophyll was not changed with the number of pan-firing. As the number of pan-firing increased, total polyphenol, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity was also increased. The highest total polyphenol and flavonoid content was 17.44 and 11.09 mg/g at 7 times pan-firing, respectively. Total antioxidant activity was the highest value of 16.45 mg AA eq/g at 7 times of pan-firing. Based on the sensory evaluation, the best overall quality of the tea was obtained with 5 times of pan-firing.
