Taika reviews and discussion

Really depends on the flavor that you try, but I’ve tried a few and didn’t love any of the flavors. Some flavors were more tolerable than others but there’s a weird aftertaste and film with most. Maybe it’s the Mylk? Plus side is when I poured out the Matcha it was pretty green, some ready to go drinks the matcha typically browns/oxidizes

These are quite tasty. I tried two flavors and would try more. I purchased at sprouts but haven’t seen in any other stores. Threw the package away before photographing but the branding is fresh and nice.

I've tried both the matcha and the mocha lattes. The matcha flavor was really good and didn't taste overly sweet at all. This one is great. The mocha one I didn't like as much, but I also don't like the taste of coffee that much to begin with. Overall I think these are good.

The packaging is really beautiful on these. That being said, I really didn’t care for these much. The macadamia product has some separation and shelf stability issues. It wasn’t one consistency throughout. Both products were a bit chalky and had this distinct aftertaste that I can’t quite put my finger on (bitter? astringent?) I think they have some work to do on taste and emulsion stability.

Cheers to a canned caffeinated drink - makes grabbing and going so much easier. I like the size and shape of the can but there were a lot of little writings on the can and it was overwhelming - I think the design could be simplified or the information could be centralized to one part of the can (e.g. “zero sugar”, “creative fuel”, “clarity from lions mane”, etc.). I tried the matcha latte and it was yummy! The canned matcha lattes I’ve tried previously haven’t been as creamy and flavorful, but I was hoping for more matcha taste because the cream was a little overpowering. I’d recommend this to and matcha lovers. I never really seen canned matcha and I’m excited for where taika takes it!!

Didn't expect to be wowed, but it was actually v v yummy. It's giving creamy, it's giving sweet, it's giving a little boost. I'm not a nut milk drinker, but the macadamia milk is a nice, mild favor. But, I think the price per can is a little steep.

This latte is made with macadamia nut milk, has no added sugar and it isn’t too sweet which I prefer. Sadly, it just doesn’t have much flavor to speak of. Even though I shook it vigorously, it didn’t seem to mix well and it was somewhat watery. I didn’t feel any effects from the adaptogens or caffeine. I don’t feel the higher price of this product is worth it in this case, but will try another flavor if I find it on sale.

I tried the macadamia and mocha lattes, both are very tasty and not overly sweet. I have a desk job that requires consistent focus, so I tend to reach for a little pick me up in the afternoon. These are perfect and provide just the right amount of energy without the jitters.

I loved the smooth texture and flavor of this drink. I saw other comments about possible separation issues so I shook the can after refrigeration. I really like the earthy taste with a hint of non overpowering sweetness with no added sugar. I’ll definitely try the other flavors.

Was a miss for me. There was an off taste to it, almost as if there was artificial sweetener. The texture was weird too. It was a bit watery and chunky, not creamy like I expected. I couldn’t finish the can, because it just didn’t taste right to me.

I've recently spent more time (and money!) on various "speciality" canned drinks these days, so I was really excited to try Taika. Despite a few shipping delays, my 3 cans arrived well packaged. We popped them in the fridge for a few days and my partner cracked one open recently, and I have to admit we were a little disappointed. The yerba mate (an acquired taste, I know) was a little too strong and the caffeine (about 70mg) felt a little too weak. Maybe we drink too much Club Mate and had different expectations!

I tried the black coffee product and it perked me up instantly! I normally add a little milk/oat milk to my coffee so it was stronger and more bitter tasting than I'm used to, but still enjoyable. I also like the design of the label and can - it was easy to hold/pick up and the label was colorful and easy to read.

Better than I expected, but not good enough to replace my coffee routine. I am not so sensitive to caffeine that I get jittery, and I’ve never really noticed the benefit of various herbs or adaptogens. On the bright side, it’s fairly tasty: neither too chalky nor too artificial tasting. The cans also have a shrink wrapper, which can interfere with recycling in some places. Make sure you rip it off, throw away the wrap, and recycle the can separately — at least until Taika invest in cans without wrappers.

I was so looking forward to try Taika because a canned matcha latte with macadmia milk sounds dreamy right? Anyone who is a matcha connoisseur knows that high quality matcha has that ✨ color ✨ and this did not have that...after pouring this into a glass, it looked quite muddy! The taste of matcha was VERY light and as I continued to take more sips, I noticed there were clumps sticking to the side of my cup like the matcha was not whisked properly. Would not recommend for the matcha latte, but hopefully the experience of the regular latte is better.

I tried the macadamia latte, and I loved the flavor. Even though it has no sugar, it's still slightly sweet from the macadamia milk.

I had this during breakfast. It’s smoother than expected texture wise. Flavor was good and the balance of coffee to milk was about 40/60. That being said I like the taste of the macadamia milk versus cow’s milk. It’s great to know that I am also getting the benefits from the added adaptogens while drinking this. I’d probably pick this up again.

I tried the mocha latte. It sort of just tastes like chocolate milk with a hint of coffee. The coffee flavor is not strong at all, which I would have preferred it to be stronger. The flavor from the macadamia milk is very subtle and reminds me of soy milk. I do enjoy the consistency of the latte and how creamy it is. Overall, the flavor was just okay. I am interested in trying the other flavors though because I do love how much healthier this brand is compared to others. There’s zero sugar and it includes powerful adaptogens like theanine, lion’s mane, and ashwagandha that helps with focus and calmness so I think this would be a great way to get in caffeine without the jitters.

The drink was very tasty, it wasn't too strong of a coffee drink because some other coffee drinks like this are too strong. I didn't get much macadamia nut flavor in the coffee. What I thought was interesting was that when I was drinking the coffee, it almost felt like there was tapioca in the drink and that was a bit weird.

Taika Latte is a game-changer in the world of ready-to-drink coffee beverages. Crafted with premium ingredients like ethically sourced coffee beans and creamy oat milk, Taika Latte delivers a rich and smooth flavor experience that rivals any coffee shop concoction. What sets Taika apart is its commitment to natural ingredients and balanced flavors, with options like Classic Latte, Oat Milk Mocha, and Oat Milk Matcha. Each sip is a perfect blend of bold coffee and velvety milk, with just the right amount of sweetness to satisfy without overwhelming. Plus, the convenient packaging makes it ideal for enjoying on the go or as a quick pick-me-up during a busy day. Taika Latte is not just a coffee drink; it's a moment of indulgence that elevates your everyday routine.

Taika as I am not a fan of tea and would much prefer coffee; however, this was surprisingly good. The flavor was wonderful, the texture was smooth and it provided me with the energy and caffeine I needed to power through the morning. I love that it is also a healthier version to those sugar options at coffee shops. While it was not too easy to track down, I will be adding it to my beverage rotation.
