When her mother was diagnosed with a critical illness, Katherine delved deep into research about healing through diet. She became aware of the importance of antioxidants and the high levels of it 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 she stumbled upon the miracle green powder, Matcha. They started drinking Matcha together and while they both felt great, her mum was actually taking back some of the control that her illness had robbed her of. This experience left Katherine feeling so passionate about Matcha that she decided to launch her own brand, OMGTea.
