Find your zen with Oatside Matcha

Asia's leading maker of oat milk, is thrilled to announce the launch of its highly anticipated OATSIDE Matcha this May, just as Singaporeans take a collective breath before casting their votes in the upcoming Singapore General Election.

Available exclusively at FairPrice outlets, fairprice.com.sg and on shop.oatside.com, OATSIDE Matcha is a 250ml ready-to-drink matcha oat latte crafted with 3,750mg of real matcha, containing 20mg of naturally occurring L-Theanine. This newest addition to the OATSIDE family captures the essence of mindful indulgence — with natural tea notes, a velvety smooth finish, and just the right lift for your busiest days, midday resets, or any moment that calls for a little zen.

Once a ceremonial staple in Japanese tea culture, matcha has evolved into a global phenomenon. From Los Angeles to London – and right here in Singapore – matcha is being embraced not just for its vibrant colour and earthy depth, but also for its clean energy and health benefits. In Asia, where matcha holds deep cultural significance, there has been a renaissance in premium matcha products, especially among younger consumers seeking functional beverages. As wellness trends and mindful consumption continue to shape the market, matcha’s calming L-theanine content makes it a standout in the beverage space. Southeast Asia, in particular, is seeing a surge in demand for better-for-you beverages,

with matcha leading the charge in the “clean energy” category. L-Theanine is a naturally occurring component in matcha tea leaves, known to support alertness and promote a sense of relaxation. Its stress-reducing and sleep-enhancing benefits have been widely studied, where a systematic review of 21 studies presented evidence that the combination of caffeine

and L-Theanine in green tea supports reduced anxiety, improved cognition, and brain function.

Additionally, its sleep-enhancing potential is supported by research, with studies noting better sleep efficiency and reduced restlessness in participants. The role of L-Theanine as a natural way to promote relaxation and support sleep – especially for those dealing with mild stress or sleep difficulties – is also highlighted by Harvard-trained nutritional psychiatrist Dr Uma Naido in her book, This Is Your Brain on Food.

In fast-paced cities like Singapore, stress and sleep challenges are part of everyday life. According to health surveys, Singaporeans rank among the most sleep-deprived population in the world, with work-related stress and digital burnout contributing to poor sleep hygiene. This is where ingredients like L-Theanine, with its anxiety-reducing properties, come into play

“With every product launch, one of the most common questions we get is, ‘When are you launching a matcha oat latte?’ It’s been a tough one to crack, but we’ve finally sourced the matcha we’re happy with. Each 250ml pack of OATSIDE Matcha contains 3,750mg of real matcha with 20mg of L-Theanine, the naturally occurring active ingredient in matcha leaves.

By offering a moment of calm focus in every sip, OATSIDE’s Matcha Oat latte isn’t just a drink — it’s a daily ritual to help people feel better, think clearer, and stay balanced.” said Benedict Lim, Founder and CEO of OATSIDE.

Celebrate the launch with Matcha Oat Latte at Clarke Quay on 17-18 May – and find your zen among the hustle and bustle.
