Hypertension remains one of the leading global health problems and is strongly associated with excessive caffeine consumption from conventional coffee, creating the need for safer alternative beverages with functional health benefits. This study aimed to analyze the potential of Golden Valley dates (Phoenix dactylifera) as a potassium-rich antihypertensive alternative beverage through the development of G-Valley Fusion Coffee. This experimental study employed laboratory testing and sensory evaluation methods. Laboratory analyses were conducted to determine potassium content, moisture content, ash content, and pH value, while organoleptic testing involved panelists aged 13–40 years to assess color, taste, aroma, and texture preferences across three formulations: 100% date seed (FA), 100% date flesh (FB), and a combination formulation (FC). The results showed that date flesh contained the highest potassium level (2141 ppm), indicating strong potential as a functional antihypertensive beverage ingredient. Sensory evaluation revealed that formulation FA achieved the highest acceptance levels in taste (93%), aroma (90%), texture (87%), and color (68%). These findings suggest that G-Valley Fusion Coffee has promising potential as an alternative functional beverage with antihypertensive benefits and acceptable sensory characteristics for consumers.
