when i was 11 years old i saw my tita having a matcha latte, and so like every other easily-influenced child i eventually got myself to try one. it felt as if i had already decided i was going to hold this drink as a favorite before i had even truly tried it. that year i had over 100 matcha lattes. expensive.. i know... forgive me. i was but a wee little eyas.

a few months before the end of 2024 someone i admire had said having a matcha with oat milk was lovelier than regular milk. since i am still, unfortunately or fortunately, that easily-influenced child, i found myself editing my regular order.

the love for it is a lot more prominent now. it's lovely to see other people drinking matcha.. i love matcha lattes. i love oat milk matcha lattes. i love iced oat milk matcha lattes. they call me Mr. Oatmilk Matcha. and This.. is my origin story..........
