OMGTea

About

We celebrate the full, chaotic and sometimes challenging lives that people lead. Extraordinary lives. So it’s our mission to provide extraordinary tea to match.

OMGTea is a business with a big beating heart and quality is of paramount importance to us, which is not surprising when considering how the business started.

When OMGTea founder, Katherine Swift's mum was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2010, she vowed to do everything that she could to help her. She started working with a breast cancer charity that funds world-class research, she spent a lot of time in the research unit and was fascinated to see what was being discovered. She found out about the importance of antioxidants in our diets and the high levels found in green tea. If her mum was going to drink any green tea, it had to be the best, and it was then that Katherine discovered matcha.

They both started drinking matcha and felt great, her mum was taking back some control that her illness robbed her and Katherine was doing something positive to help. She felt so passionate about matcha that five years after her mum’s diagnosis, she launched OMGTea to spread the word about this extraordinary green powder.

A year later, Katherine also founded The Healthy Life Foundation, a charity that funds research into age related diseases, including cancer.
