namely Anak Agung Istri Sri Wiadnyani, S.TP., M.Sc.
TELYTEA (Fruit Peel Jelly Tea) is a
new breakthrough for drinking tea using fruit flesh and fruit peels as the
basic ingredients for its manufacture. The idea for the product Telytea (Fruit
Peel Jelly Tea) was sparked due to the low average consumption rate of fruit by

increase the amount or number of fruit consumption as well as reduce food waste
in Indonesia.
Apart from that, Made Justin Satria
Wira Buana also explained that there are also benefits provided due to the
vitamin content found in the flesh of the fruit and the use of fruit peels as
the basic ingredient of this product will add to the advantages of being rich
