Research Institute for Tea and Cinchona Gambung produces white tea with the “Gamboeng White Tea” brand. “Gamboeng White Tea” sales decreased for the last three years (2016-2018). To resolve the problem, “Gamboeng White Tea” marketing must be expanded, to enter the millennial customer market. This study aims to discover teenage customer’s knowledge about “Gamboeng White Tea” products in the market. This study used an online survey method.
