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.

  • So, I tried the Taika Coffee drink, specifically the mocha latte, and it’s pretty awesome! The blend of adaptogens really gives you that smooth energy boost without the jitters. Compared to other coffee drinks, Taika stands out with its unique ingredients designed to make you more productive. Loved the taste – rich, creamy, and not too sweet. Only downside? It’s a bit pricey compared to your regular coffee, but hey, you’re paying for quality. Perfect for that mid-afternoon slump! 👍

  • Good tasting matcha coffee. I had the macadamia latte and didn't have any strong caffeinated side effects, but all the benefits of being more focused.

  • I enjoy these coffee drinks. Smooth taste and is not too sweet. Pretty high in caffeine, but didn't make me feel jittery or anxious.

  • I love macadamia nut milk and I usually don't see canned coffee drinks that are made with it so I had to try and it didn't disappoint. It's much better than what I can whip up. The added adaptogens are an upgrade.

  • The macadamia latte was delicious. I replaced my morning coffee with it one morning and it did the job! It was very creamy tasting with no side effects of true dairy. I do not purchase many single serve latte drinks, but when I am feeling up for a treat Taika will be top of my list to grab from the shelf! I would love to try out the matcha latte as well!

  • I tried the macadamia latte, really delicious! I don't like super sweet coffee, and this had just enough sweetener to not be bitter, but wasn't like drinking a dessert.

  • It’s a bit sweet, carby and nutty for my taste. Not bad, but probably not something I’d seek out.

  • I thought it was very tasty and I didn't mind the sugar alternatives at all (usually I hate the way they taste). I wish the drink was a little bigger and packed a bit more of a caffeine punch.

  • Beautiful can design and delicious contents. The matcha latte is a great early afternoon treat. Tastes fresh and foamy.

  • YUM! No sugar-free taste, perfect creamy flavor. Love that you get such a balanced result from drinking one of these!

  • I tried the adaptogenic matcha, which was great! I’ve had other canned matcha drinks with adaptogens that have tasted gritty and nasty, so this surpassed those expectations. Would absolutely grab in a pinch for my on the go energy boost.

  • I liked the overall serving but I wasn't a huge huge fan of the flavor. It didn't really taste like a true matcha latte (barely tasted matcha) and was more like a vitamin drink. I would maybe get it again as it is one of few plant-based canned matchas offered.

  • I tried their Matcha Latte and I thought it was really good! Typically I do not mix coffee with matcha, but overall it was good and not too sweet. I love that it has zero sugar AND is made with macadamia milk - which is perfect for the lactose free girlies!

  • I would not recommend or repurchase. Tastes very chalky and I couldn’t finish it.

  • I really like the mocha latte by Taika. I love chocolate! I like that Taika does not contain any added sugar. I like that Taika uses good ingredients.

  • The macadamia milk wasn’t my favorite but it had a great sweetness level.

  • Taika is smooth and creamy! I love how it uses monk fruit in its proprietary blend instead artificial sweeteners (which have been linked with 3x odds of dementia in Harvard longitudinal study). Clean energy for both the body and mind-i highly recommend the matcha flavor :) The only downside is that I wish it was lower in saturated fat
