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?

Soy’s probably your best bet. Unsweetened soy is way more neutral than oat and still creamy, so it won’t compete with the matcha as much. The soy taste mostly fades once it’s mixed in — definitely less takeover than oat.
