Taika reviews and discussion

One of the few functional drinks I've tried (I've tried them all tbh) that actually makes you feel chill immediately. I was also hesitant about the flavor as a person who isn't a fan of tea flavors but it was actually really nice! 1 star off for the price- would love if this was like $3/can!

Just tried this for the first time yesterday and was super impressed. I had the Mocha Latte (last one on the shelf) and the flavor was really balanced and pleasant. I will try anything that's zero sugar but they're not always worth having. This was actually a delight and I drank it all pretty quickly.

drink overall was alright

I've tried a fe different tea-focused specialty beverages, but these are BY FAR my favorite. I was genuinely surprised by how easy they are and I noticed I felt less 'scatter brained' about 45 minutes-ish after drinking one.

I received Taika in a Thingdrop and am really glad to have gotten to try it! I received the Mateverse flavor and LOVED the taste. Unfortunately for me, I didn't really feel the effects of calming anxiety or anything like that, but it was a super delicious drink that I highly recommend, especially if you're looking for a healthy alternative to soda.

Tried the Yerba mate drink. It was pretty yummy but my favorite (don’t have much Yerba mate experience). Seems to be on the pricier side but worth it if you really enjoy carbonated Yerba mate.

The mate drink was very tasty, though more on the iced-tea side than actual mate. The packaging is also fun and nice. At $4 a can it's on the pricy side but if you do get it I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I love Taika and the way they approach their brand. Also, they really got the flavors spot on with all their products. Their SMS component is also novel (a la Dirty Lemon) and they have the silliest homepage of all time (the dolphin squeaks)!

Ok yerba mate, I prefer Guayaki yerba mate though. Wasn’t too sweet, and I didn’t notice the adaptogen effects personally. VERY bubbly, and while I like some bubbles, the carbonation was a bit too strong for me, and the taste was kind of meh. I think adding adaptogens, especially to caffeinated drinks, is a cool and innovative idea. This could be because the brand is new, but shipping took 3 weeks.

This was really good. A little bland, but for sparkling water it fits. Simple and effective with caffeine!

Tried the matcha and it was okay. It has a bit of a slightly thickness/grainy texture from the milk. It is not too sweet, but also slightly sweetened. Cool packaging though.

The Taika matverse sampler was delightful. I love that it's a low sugar/non-coffee energy option. I got through law school drinking yerba mates and so it was nice to sample Taika's mate offerings. These have just enough sweetness to make the drink pleasant but still healthy. We tested these out on a long drive (from Charlotte to Maryland) and they kept us awake and alert without the jitters.

I really enjoyed the drinks. They were subtle with the perfect amount of bubbles. I’ve recently developed a bit of an unhealthy obsession with energy drinks that make me feel like a mild lunatic and this did not do that, but did give me a bit of pep.

Super delicious! I really enjoyed this drink, the Yerba mate flavor is not overwhelming and the light carbonation is perfect. I would absolutely recommend and can't wait to try the other flavors.

I’m giving 5 stars for the amazing customer support I received. The company was extremely understanding and communicative. I’d give the product 4/5 stars. They were good. The packaging is probably what set them apart more than the taste/idea. They tasted really good though.

Wow. I tried the Metaverse Sampler pack and I was really blown away by how much I liked it. I've only tried yerba mate once before and I didn't really like it so I was worried it would be a similar experience. However, it really is delicious and the light carbonation was a great touch. Sometimes carbonation hurts my stomach but this is such a small amount that it didn't bother me at all. The caffeine was pretty strong and I made the mistake of trying it out for the first time at night so it definitely took me longer to fall asleep. Don't drink late in the day if you are sensitive to caffeine! Also, I appreciate the emails from the company updating me on the shipping details as my package took a while to arrive because of manufacturing issues.

Delicious. Most coffee alternatives don't taste nice. I feel a nice gust of energy yet not jittery, really helps me reach my flow state, I'd say. thank you for creating a brand like this, I'd been searching everywhere.

Super fun packaging! But the beverage itself was a little too creamy for my tastes—like weirdly creamy. That said, I'm a black coffee drinker so maybe don't listen to me on this point.

Big fan, i love iced Matchas, but they never come with macadamia milk, which this does. Great mid-day pick me up. Super creamy and love having these in my fridge!

Tasty and interesting flavor options, but small and fairly expensive for the size. I probably would not buy again.
