Origin Tea's Matcha Specialist / Origin Tea
Megan de Beer

Megan has spent nearly two years with Brewing Brands and Origin Tea, following a decade working in hospitality alongside business owners and operators. Throughout her career, developing recipes and menus for specialty drinks has been a core part of her work, alongside helping businesses implement new systems and offerings.

Passionate about beverage innovation and creativity, Megan enjoys exploring emerging trends and developing drinks that are both exciting and commercially relevant. From a classic Mont Blanc to matcha with cold foam, she loves experimenting with flavours, textures and techniques, and having the opportunity to continually play in this space through her work with Brewing Brands and Origin Tea.

Megan believes there is always room for creativity, regardless of the size of a venue or the limitations of its operation. Even a single drink can create an opportunity to surprise customers, build a point of difference and elevate the overall offering.
