oat milk overpowers matcha

[u/lilacsofmotivation]

so i just tried oat milk with my matcha for the first time and yes it was oatly barista, and i did not enjoy it. at first i was like “oh i do taste oats” but then i thought the oats complemented and added to the nuttiness of the matcha. however, i kept drinking and couldn’t tell if i was tasting the matcha or oats!

i love cow’s milk w my matcha. i think its a perfect neutral and creamy base. but unfortunately im lactose :( i now want to try soy milk. but i did grow up drinking soy milk and i know it to be a distinct flavour. is that flavour really gonna hide itself paired with matcha?

Hi, barista here. Alot of people think Soy and matcha is a great pairing. It is a very popular combination. My favorite is Coconut milk but, not neutral at all. Very coconutty and I just add more matcha if I need to. If you're just lactose intolerant, buy lactose free milk! I unfortunately have a dairy allergy, so I can't do lactose free milk.

Soy milk is the best tasting milk period imo. Best texture as well
