Taika reviews and discussion

I first tried these when they were in the new product aisle at Sprouts and the matcha one was delicious. Great for a break from work, I kept it in the work fridge and coworkers were all asking me about it!

These are really good! I like the functional ingredients, that they are plant-based, and that they are not super high in calories. It would be nice if they offered a larger size of them as well. Wish I could get them at Starbucks!!

I tried the oat milk latte. Probably one of the better canned lattes I've had. Compared to, say Starbucks canned drinks, this one isn't over-the-top sweet. I can't vouch for the other health benefits it claims to have - I couldn't tell the difference from other canned coffee drinks.

I tried Taika because a friend handed me a can and said, “You’ll either love it or be confused.” Honestly, that sums it up pretty well. It’s not your typical canned coffee—it’s kind of doing its own thing, with adaptogens and a mellow, almost dessert-like flavor that doesn’t scream coffee in the traditional sense. The texture is smooth, almost velvety, and the sweetness is subtle but definitely there. I’ve had a few of the flavors—macadamia latte, matcha, maybe one with mushrooms?—and they all have this low-key, functional vibe. Like, it feels less like a caffeine jolt and more like something you sip when you’re trying to stay focused without crashing. I wouldn’t reach for it if I just wanted a strong, straightforward cold brew, but there’s something kind of calming about it. It’s not a daily go-to for me, but once in a while, it’s a nice change. The branding is clean, minimal, and kind of zen, which fits the whole vibe they’re going for. Overall, it’s interesting. Not life-changing, but different in a way that makes you pause and go, “Okay, yeah… this works.” Just maybe not for every coffee mood.

I thought the drink was decent but had a bit of an after taste. It was a bit pricey for the one can but overall it was a decent enough drink. I could see it being an occasional treat but not something I would buy a lot

The product tastes good but i have no idea if their claims are true or not, but I like the product on a basic level and dont have any complaints.

I’m I found the artificial taste very unappealing.the matcha was better than the mocha. However overall not to my liking.

some of the flavors might be good but the once i tried was not the best, i would try other flavors

Surprisingly delicious. I love to give new brands by folks I like a try, and I'm happy I did! The matcha latte I tried was surprisingly well balanced, and not bitter at all. I was relieved to know that they didn't use poor quality matcha powder!

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.

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.

Loved they taste of this matcha one and it was less sugary … better than other similar products

The Taika matcha latte was pretty good! Good flavor plus adaptogens is great compared to traditional matcha lattes. Macadamia milk is interesting choice of alternative milk in a good way.

I enjoyed the flavor of this drink. I definitely will throw it into my coffee rotation. It gave me energy and tasted good. What more could I ask for?

Not really memorable. I guess it gets the job done, but meh. Size was a bit small. Erythritol flavor was noticeable.

tried the matcha - really didn't like the aftertaste + bitterness of the tea

I learned from this product that I do not like macadamia milk-based products. I found the mocha latte with a macadamia base honestly hard to choke down. The texture was a bit chalky and I really did not like the aftertaste. That said, I'd try other Taika products that have a different base.

I understand why people who are into adaptogens and stuff may like this drink. I’m not against all that stuff but the taste was just horrible to me. I tried the macadamia latte

great flavor and texture
