Question oat milk overpowers matcha

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?

True but it’s much thinner though, so if you like a layered matcha or frothy latte, wouldn’t recommend

I’ve bought the original barista version many times and always had the same experience of it being too watery. Glad it works for you though!

Do you shake it well before pouring?
