Meet Gina Keatley: The Bold Businesswoman Revolutionizing Sustainable Tea

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 22, 2023 / Gina Keatley, entrepreneur, investor, philanthropist, professor, and culinary innovator is revolutionizing herbal tea with the Matche Global Initiative. The founder, CEO, and chairwomen of The Sicilian Olive Leaf Tea Company has made Matche available worldwide. Matche is a matcha-like product created using only one ingredient-olive leaves. Now, she adds the Matche Global Initiative to its list of endeavors, to provide the world with globally curated Matche olive leaf tea powder.

"With the Matche Global Initiative, I am working on globalizing Matche powder and tea," says Keatley. "By the time the finely ground powder fills customers' cups, it's already of a highly diverse background." Matche is birthed in the hills of Italy. The olive trees used to create the powder are cultivated from 100-year-old olive trees and hand harvested. Then, the product is sent to New York, where it's carefully processed to ensure it's up to quality and standard. After it's prepared and ready for consumption, it gets sent out - customers from various corners of the world enjoy The Sicilian Olive Leaf Tea Company's Matche.

The company notes some of the benefits of Matche tea. "This underutilized element is a superfood packed with oleuropein, a compound that might be responsible for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and disease-fighting activities," says Keatley. "It has many of the benefits of olive oil but is calorie-free. Another aspect of the tea is its ability to bridge culinary and culture together."

"We've expanded all the way to Japan," states Keatley. "We're so happy to be able to share this with a new part of the world." Keatley mentions that the powder garnered attention from Japan, so the entrepreneur made it her mission to provide. "The expansion is a response to the Japanese customers' requests for a powdered leaf olive tea product. I am thrilled with the response and can't wait to share Italian-powdered olive leaf tea in a country full of tea lovers."

"We're pleased to have spread around the world something which we love and enjoy so much," states Keatley. Keatly has enjoyed years standing as the co-founder of Keatley Medical Nutrition Therapy alongside her longtime business partner and husband, Scott Keatley, a registered dietitian and one of the trailblazing forces behind transforming Sicily, Italy, into an olive tea-producing region. To sprout the Matche idea, Keatley leaned on her expertise in the global food community, her experience taking risks, adapting business models, and pioneering a gastronomic culture in her field, and her knowledge of developing tea portfolios within the business and entrepreneurial food media spheres.

She notes that Matche is not meant to replace matcha. Rather, she encourages consumers to find joy in its differences, observing it as a new product that is uniquely nutritious, fun, and innovative. "Redefining olive leaf tea as a global product has allowed me to explore the world of food and beverage in Sicily amid a true ecological renaissance," holds Keatley. "I wouldn't have believed you if you told me I would become an accidental eco-farmer, but that's what makes it great. It's raw, authentic, and exciting."
