Based on the results, the age of the respondents is ranging from 11-20 years old.

Majority of the respondents are female and unemployed which comprises of housewives

and students. The level of satisfaction of kamias tea in terms of taste has an overall

weighted mean of 4.33 implies that the respondents are very satisfied with the taste of the

kamias tea and they find it refreshing. The level of satisfaction of kamias tea in terms of

appearance has an overall weighted mean of 4.28 implies that the respondents are very

satisfied with the appearance of kamias tea and find it attractive. Moreover, the level of

satisfaction of kamias tea in terms of packaging has an overall weighted mean of 4.31

implies that the respondents are also very satisfied with the packaging of kamias tea and

they find it handy and suitable. Thus, Kamias Tea is marketable.

The proposed project also requires small amount of capital and the suitable type of

business is Partnership.

The following are the recommendations of the proponents to the following

stakeholders:

To the future researchers,

The proponents recommend that this proposed product, which is kamias tea be

powderized. This will improve the quality of the product most especially in the brewing

process. In addition, the product can also be made into tea bags which are more

appealing to the consumers who prefer hot tea.

Lastly, we recommend to utilize the Kamias into different products such as

ointment, toner and soap because based on the studies, it can heal pimples, itchiness

and some skin problems.

To the future entrepreneurs,

The proponents recommend that they should make variations in terms of the flavor

and the sizes of the bottle. This will make customers select what serving size will suit

based on their preference and buying capacity. The variation of different flavors will let

the customer choose the right flavor since every customers has its own selection when it

comes to the flavoring.

The proponents also recommend that they should undergo nutritional test for the

said product. They can market the components of nutritional facts to the customers who

are health conscious. And lastly, to highlight the vitamins and minerals that can be found

in the product.

To the City of Cabuyao,

The proponents recommend that the municipality highlight the utilization of the

local tree such as kamias. his can be an introduction to the livelihood programs set by the

municipality. Also this can be a way to enter the Philippine Market because this can be

the first ready to drink herbal tea produced by the Cabuyeños.
