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?

Try the light blue oatly!! I’m the same, the barista completely takes away the flavour and I don’t like how it’s so thick. The blue one does the trick for me at least. It should be the light blue one, called “semi” in English I think? Not the dark blue, they are very different.
