Thanks to Sil for all the matcha, including this one! This one’s level of flavouring is distinctive. The matcha itself smells generically sweet but it’s not a distinctive maple syrup.
I made a cold latte with Silk organic soy milk. I can barely taste the maple? I’m wondering if it has to do with the milk, because I find that this one in particular has a stronger flavour. Nice and sweet, but it seems to make most matchas taste the same. All I got was a generic sweetness and that’s it.
I’m going to have to try it hot, and maybe cold with a different type of milk until I make a final decision about this one.

Sometimes I find the flavour of soy milk overpowering. That’s the exact reason I have it with straight matcha – so I only taste soy haha!
Yeah, seriously! I’d already go with regular cow’s milk but I noticed lately that I seem to be getting a mild touch of lactose intolerance. Soy seems to make everything taste the same.
I actually went through that too. It was a little touch and go with milk, but I seem fine now. I didn’t drink it at all for just over 7 months.
I just take lactaids :)
So weird how it just sneaks up out of nowhere, eh? I’ve considered lactaids but don’t really love milk that much anyway to deal with that haha. Maybe I’ll try cow’s milk again in a month or so.
The Silk Almond Milk is pretty good. I’ve been getting the unsweetened. It doesn’t have carageenan in it, which my beloved Almond Breeze has, and might be upsetting my tummy.
I’ve tried their almond milk too, and while I find it’s better regarding lack of interference with flavours, I’m annoyed by the lack of protein! And it’s still more flavourful to me compared to cow’s milk. Almond Breeze I haven’t had in years but maybe I’ll have to give them another chance.
I basically eat meat and veg, so I’m not too worried about protein. :) I’m more interested in the vitamin supplementation.
