Twelve yeast strains were isolated from traditionally fermented Indonesian tea cider. Seven of them were high alcohol producers and were identified as Candida variabilis, C. famata, C. guilliermondii and C. fennica. Acetobacter sp. was also found among 35 strains of bacterial isolates. This bacterium and 7 selected yeast strains were used in various combinations to study their ability to produce good quality and acceptable tea cider. The changes of sugar, acid, pH and alcohol production were monitored to determine the progress of fermentation. Sensory evaluations were carried out to determine the organoleptic acceptability. The result indicated that the combination of Acetobacter sp. with C. fennica gave the best tea cider. The optimum time of incubation was from 6 to 9 days.
