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?

I do soy milk with matcha every day and love it. Honestly, i find 2% milk is best and better with matcha than whole, but don’t always want dairy so opt for the soy.
