Fine Print
The Lineup: We tested 13 brands of local and imported boxed oat milk in Metro Manila. We sourced from supermarkets, health food stores (Healthy Options), and online platforms (Shopee).
Why We’re Doing This: Oat milk has quickly become a popular plant-based alternative to whole milk, taking over cafe menus and groceries. With so many options available now, how do you know which brands are actually worth the hype and which are underrated? We put 13 brands to the test so you don’t have to guess.
How We Tasted: Each brand was tasted as is, at room temperature.
Blind Taste Test: All brands were removed from their packaging, labeled, and tasted blind to prevent brand bias.
How We Scored: Each product was evaluated across 2 criteria. Final placements reflect the Pepper team’s averaged impressions.
Transparency: No brand paid for inclusion in this taste test.
