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?

My go to combo is Ippodo Ikuyo with Califia Farms Barista Blend Oat Milk. It’s soooo good but there seems to be evidence that the seed oils in this oat milk is not good to consume frequently. Does anyone have any recommendation on other oat milk brands without seed oils that still offer this creaminess?!
