Calli O’Brien
Calli OBrien is a long-time matcha marketer living in Vancouver, Canada and the CEO and co-founder of My Matcha Life®.
Calli belongs to a group of early adopters who first explored matcha’s North American market potential. Today, with exceptional matcha knowledge and a personable nature, she is highly regarded by matcha tea producers, retailers and consumers alike.
Since 2006 Calli has worked with the world’s top Matcha Tea Masters, toured Japanese mills where the finest matcha powder is still stone-ground to perfection, and managed the packaging, transportation, marketing and distribution of matcha tea products on three (3) continents.
Cool career highlights: Calli was an associate producer for a 26:00 minute matcha tea video documentary (2012); guest lecturer at the prestigious Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC (2014); and co-authored the Sage Group‘s definitive Matcha Report for business (2015).
Calli “CHOSE TO BE BOLD” when she launched My Matcha Life in 2015. She continues today boldly bringing innovative new matcha products to market (and by sticking herself all too frequently in front of a video camera!).
