Abstract: This research was conducted with the aim to determine the correlation between antioxidant content and antidiabetic properties of stevia black tea mixtures with various proportions. The research design used was a completely randomized design with one factor. The factor is the proportion of black tea: stevia with 5 levels of proportion, namely the proportion of black tea: stevia (in % by weight) used respectively is 88:12, 76:24, 64:36, 52:48 and 40: 60. Tea is brewed by steeping every 2 g of stevia tea in 200 mL of hot water at 94 ± 5 °C for 4 ± 1 minute. And the tea was filled in a glass jar, then stored at ambient temperature (28 ± 2 °C) for 3 days. After 3 days, the tea drink was analyzed. The parameters analyzed were total phenols and inhibition of the alpha-amylase enzyme. The data obtained from testing these parameters were then analyzed using regression Minitab 17 with a significance level of 5%. The relationship between total phenol and amylase inhibitory ability is directly proportional, positive, and cubic equation type
