Latar Belakang: Teh hijau, kopi hijau dan kayu manis memiliki kandungan antioksidan yang tinggi dan berpengaruh terhadap efek perbaikan profil lipid darah. Tujuan: Penelitian dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengembangkan produk minuman fungsional terpilih dari kombinasi teh hijau, kopi hijau dan kayu manis terutama bagi penderita hiperkolesterolemia. Metode: Desain yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah eksperimental murni dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL). Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga jenis formula dengan perbedaan rasio teh hijau, kopi hijau dan kayu manis: F1 (2,5:1:1), F2 (2:1,5:1) dan F3 (1,5:2:1). Penelitian ini menggunakan organoleptik tes dengan jumlah panelis semi terlatih sebanyak 30 orang. Data penelitian dianalisis menggunakan uji Kruskal-Wallis H test. Hasil: Hasil penelitian uji hedonik menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan pada rata-rata karakteristik warna, rasa, aroma, kekentalan dan kesan rasa (p > 0,05). Formula yang paling disukai panelis adalah F2 dan memiliki tingkat penerimaan yang paling tinggi untuk semua karakteristik uji. Hasil uji menunjukkan satu takaran saji minuman (100 mL) F2 mengandung 1.1 g karbohidrat, 3,7 g protein, 0,7 g lemak dan 304 mg AEAC/100 g antioksidan. Kesimpulan: Pengembangan minuman fungsional berbasis teh hijau, kopi hijau dan kayu manis berpotensi sebagai sumber alternatif minuman tinggi antioksidan pada penderita hiperkelosterolemia
