Taika earns largely positive reviews for creamy, zero-sugar canned lattes and matcha that deliver a smooth, jitter-free lift, with macadamia milk, adaptogens (L-theanine, ashwagandha, lion’s mane), and standout flavors like Macadamia Latte, Mocha, and Matcha. Reviews also flag inconsistent texture (clumps/chunkiness), diluted or weak flavor—especially matcha—and occasional bitter or artificial-sweetener aftertaste, making performance and taste variable across cans.

  • Taika is the best coffee in a can/bottle I’ve had. It’s rare that products become an instant favorite for me but this one did. Two of my roommates also started ordering it. Well done!

  • Didn't love the matcha flavor, was a weirdly dry mouth feel. Product is expensive compared to similar brands for me to try another flavor

  • I wanted to love this, but something about the flavor was off. I purchased the Matcha Latte flavor and I felt that the overall flavor of the matcha was weak.

  • The macadamia latte was smooth and not overly sweet. The taste was great and the serving size was just right.

  • I unfortunately didn’t like the macadamia latte. Even though there is zero sugar, the artificial sweetener made this way too sweet tasting. It just wasn’t what I was looking for and couldn’t finish the whole thing.

  • Pleasantly sweet, not bitter, and smooth texture unlike most other canned matcha lattes which can be chalky. However, there was a sharp aftertaste with every sip that was pretty offputting. Might have been unique to the matcha--not sure whether I'd have the same complaint about the coffees.

  • Really rich flavorful macadamia latte

  • I’m usually skeptical about coffee in a can but this one is delicious! I tried the matcha and it was perfectly sweeten (not too much not too little) and creamy and the matcha tasted delicious plus it has a whole bunch of benefits which is a huge plus!

  • I absolute love these coffee drinks I tried the mocha latte and it was fire. I am excited to try the rest of these products.

  • I tried the matcha and it didn't feel too sweet or too bitter which I appreciate. The texture threw me off a bit. Wasn't bad, but I think I prefer my matcha's at home.

  • Mocha latte has a pleasant taste - not too sweet, just enough creamy with a caffeine kick. I'm not sure about the adaptogen benefits, but the nutritional profile makes it light enough as a snack on its own. The sugar level is a bit high for me, however. It is fun to try, but not likely to become part of my routine.

  • I tried the oat milk latte and I would say its just fine- I haven't tried too many canned lattes but I do love my iced lattes from a coffee shop! It isnt too sweet, which is great for people who don't like overly sweet drinks. However, like a lot of other canned coffees, it has a slight sour taste. I'm also not a huge fan of adaptogens being in everything.

  • Love Taika. Amazing flavors + adoptogens? Yes please....the oat milk latte and black coffee have become my go-to canned coffee beverages.

  • The macadamia latte has good flavor, not too sweet. The size of the can is smaller than that of other canned lattes I’ve tried, though.

  • I got the matcha latte and was so excited to have a portable prepared matcha option. The packaging is beautiful. Unfortunately, the drink itself isn't what I expected from a matcha. The color is a muddier brown than most matcha products and looks unappealing when poured into a glass. The taste is okay, but feels heavy on the milk alternative. I finished the can I had, but would not be quick to repurchase.

  • Maybe it was just because I haven't had caffine in a while, but Taika Matcha Latte really hit the spot! The taste was great and my brain felt much clearer after drinking it. I would purcahse this product again and try the other flavors as well.
