Antioxidant Telange Coffee Drink: Blue brew, Better you
Keywords:
coffee, clitoria terntea, butterfly pea flower, antioxidantAbstract
Step into the azure world called Telange, where coffee meets the celestial bloom of the butterfly pea flower. The melancholy of “Blue Brew” brings sensory alchemy, weaving together the aromatic emerald pandan leaves with medicinal nectar that screams modest sweetness, meliponini honey. Beyond the classic coffee beverage, Telange is a modern palate that integrates the ancient botanical wisdom with contemporary wellness. The innovative formulation offers extensive health benefits that address modern health concerns such as diabetes and hypertension, while retaining the classic flavors. Aligning with the aspirations of Malaysia’s National Agrofood Policy 2021–2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Tealang transforms daily rituals into a vibrant, health-forward journey. Telange is not just a common coffee ritual, it is a strategic valorisation of culture and frontier in antioxidant game, it is an initial prototype proving that ‘blue brew’ is the new coffee crafted for ‘Better You’.
