In 2010, OMG Tea founder Katherine Swift’s mother was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. Watching her fight the disease made her realise that the most important thing in life is family, friends and health. So she decided that she wanted to do something positive to help and became involved in supporting the ground breaking research of one of the world’s leading genetic and cell biologists. This research highlighted the benefits of antioxidants in our diets. Green tea is renowned for its healing properties due to an abundance of antioxidants so she wanted her mum to drink the green tea with the most antioxidants. With its amazing health and wellness properties and an astonishing level of antioxidants organic matcha green tea was that tea.
“My mum and I started drinking it immediately,” she tells OM. “I felt so passionate about its amazing potential health benefits and how it made us feel that I founded OMGTea to help spread the word about this miracle green powder. Mum and I drink OMGTea daily and have never looked back.”
