You may remember that we ran the OMGTea Matcha Challenge in January and February of this year.
The challenge was pretty straightforward, have a minimum of one serving of matcha every day for a minimum period of 14 to 21 days.
All participants were entered into a prize draw to win matcha for a year and we were delighted to announce at the end of February that Victoria Bennet was the lucky winner who will receive a tin of our best-selling AAA Grade Matcha every month for twelve months. Congratulations again Victoria!
At the end of the challenge, participants were asked to complete a survey in order to evaluate the impact the challenge. With the results all now in and analysed, we are excited to share some of the key findings with you.

More than 87% of participants noticed an improvement in their mood and/or general wellbeing
94% said they would buy OMGTea again and 97% would recommend to a friend.
The main purpose of carrying out the survey was for participants to monitor their experience with OMGTea matcha. However, the insights from the survey have proved invaluable for us too. We were especially encouraged to hear that participants experienced significant increases in energy and focus and that drinking matcha every day encouraged them to to lead a healthier lifestyle. The mission of OMGTea is to help people lead healthier lives so to see this feedback is incredibly rewarding and motivating. Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete the survey.
