Taika reviews and discussion

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.

As a creative, this was labeled “creative fuel”, so they got me there. I was pleasantly surprised by the macadamia nut latte. It was smooth and creamy with a nice nutty taste to it. I did see a bit of white chunks, so I suggest shaking vigorously before opening. I can’t speak much to the adaptogens and its energy-effective claims, as it has 100 mg of caffeine in it. But I was definitely not jittery (I am caffeine sensitive).

I tried the Macadamia Latte. It was yummy to pour over ice. I loved the smoothness of the cold brew and the flavor of the macadamia milk. My only complaint is that it is a little gritty. I wo!

For a matcha drink, ready to go, this is pretty nice! I like the smooth and subtle taste. It's not too sweet and I could sip on it for quite a while. I enjoy the small (60mg) caffeine count. It's just what I need when I've reached the afternoon and don't have any more energy, but don't want to be up all night long. I would buy this again, on occasion. The only thing I don't love is the calorie count, 80 calories for a small 8 oz can is quite high. Id like to see it lower, even if it means using sugar alcohols, for me to purchase it more frequently.

I tried the Taika Strawberry Matcha Latte! It was super good. The flavor wasn’t too strong or too sweet. I like that it’s made with macadamia milk opposed to cows milk. Love the zero sugar & that it has adaptogens in it like theanine, lions mane & ashwaganda. It has 60 mg of caffeine which is just enough to give me a little boost but not go overboard. Will definitely be trying again.

I have not heard of Taika before today but I am glad I finally did. Taika's Matcha Latte is a plant-based drink. The company uses macadamia milk instead of cow's milk which is a great alternative for consumers who are lactose intolerance. I thought the drink was creamy and tasty. I felt alert and energized with the 60 mg of caffeine packed into the beverage. I noticed the can says zero sugar so I read the ingredient Erythritol. Personally, I am not a fan of artificial sweeteners but at least it didn't have an aftertaste.

I tried the Mocha flavor and was having to prevent myself from chugging it - it was really tasty. Smooth, rich, packed with flavor and deep mocha goodness. It has a bit of an interesting (not in a bad way) taste, which I assume is from the adaptogens. This may throw some people off, but I didn’t kind it. The coffee was sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. I love the use of monk fruit vs a high fructose syrup. I felt energized and ready to start the day after my drink, which I poured over ice (when the ice melts, you get a bit of a “second drink”, haha!). I am a big fan of the ingredients Taika uses and the fact that their cans are BPA free is great.

Love the Taika macadamia latte, plant based coffee, dairy free! Great tasting great flavor, only 70 calories! The packaging is so adorable too!

Thanks !

I've really been into trying beverages with adaptogens recently and Taika does not disappoint! Their Strawberry Matcha is my favorite - so refreshing. The best part - ZERO Sugar!

The Taika Matcha Latte is a total winner! It’s perfectly balanced with a creamy, smooth texture and just the right amount of sweetness. The matcha flavor is rich and earthy, without any bitterness, making it an absolute joy to sip. I love that it’s made with adaptogens and functional ingredients that help me stay focused and energized without the jitters or crash. It’s my go-to drink for busy mornings or a mid-day pick-me-up. If you’re looking for a matcha latte that’s convenient, delicious, and packed with benefits, Taika is a must-try. Highly recommend!

This tasted kind of funky. I like the idea in theory but it's gotta taste good or else I won't be buying it again. Hopefully they can improve their formula to make it taste better.

Tastes okay, definitely not worth the price especially considering the taste. I felt like it was an average product. Would not purchase again.

I tried the matcha latte and the oat milk latte with wildly different opinions. The matcha latte was delicious - sweet but not too sweet, creamy, and a gentle brain boost (though whether due to caffeine or adaptogens, I can't really say). The oat milk latte was just not good - even after shaking well was not remotely well combined, and it didn't taste creamy or smooth or nice, just chunky thin oat-flavoured coffee. I struggled to finish that one. Maybe I should have gotten the macadamia coffee latte since I think that's the milk they use in the matcha version? But regardless, it's a little steep price-wise for me, especially for this level of inconsistency within the brand.

Great stuff!

I recently tried Taika Coffee, and while the flavor was enjoyable, I experienced some unexpected side effects afterward. The coffee has a smooth and rich taste, with a pleasant balance that made it a delight to sip. However, shortly after drinking it, I felt quite off, which detracted from the overall experience. It’s disappointing because I was looking forward to enjoying a good cup of coffee, but the uncomfortable feeling lingered. I appreciate the taste, but I might need to explore other options in the future.

I selected the oat milk latte and I liked the general taste of it! It was creamier than I had expected, and just right on the sweetness level. I’ll be buying the other varieties soon!

Good but chalky texture would prefer. Amore creamy option

The matcha latte and macadamia latte are my favorites, a nice alternative to spending big bucks at coffee shops and handy on the go.
