Calli O’Brien is the CEO and Co-founder of My Matcha Life^® Products Inc., and a competitive multi-sport athlete since she was seven years old.

Over the years she’s received various awards and recognition. Recently, her and her team were honored inductees into the B.C. Football Hall of Fame. The only female athletes ever inducted into a professional football Hall of Fame!

All athletes are aware of the importance of sustained energy to play at the top of our game, but sometimes we forget it’s the mental edge that makes the ultimate difference. It separates winning from losing, grabbing the podium from not placing, and making birdies instead of bogies.

An athlete needs both sustained energy and sustained mental focus.

In the past 15 years Calli has become a leading authority in the North American Matcha space, working with the world’s best matcha tea growers, gathering tons of customer data, and even lecturing at the prestigious Smithsonian Institute.

The health benefits of high quality matcha are unique and vastly different from those in an average matcha tea powder. Matcha’s nutrients get boosted when combined with specific ingredients, creating an effective synergy perfect for sport performance.

Calli discovered that having a matcha before and during her games improved mental and physical performance, but whisking it on the sidelines wasn’t so convenient!

In talking with her Co-Founder, Zee Cajthamlova, they decided to ‘#chewstobebold’ and create a product that enhanced matcha’s unique benefits of energy, focus, and antioxidants that anyone could use anywhere, anytime.

The Problem …

The problem was how to get matcha powder into a convenient easy-to-use format, make it tasty without adding tons of sugar, boost its natural performance effects, and then get it all into a single serving.

The Solution …

To find the solution Calli and Zee brought together North America’s top tea formulator, a U.S. based Life Sciences team, a major natural health products manufacturer, and Japan’s premier matcha tea producer.

After three (3) years of formulating, testing different delivery formats, and seven (7) ‘Final’ variations, Matcha KiK Performance Chews – Lemon Flavor rolled out to the U.S. market with rave reviews in November 2019.

We hope you’ll love them as much as we do.
