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.

  • I look forward to trying various canned coffees, but this one was a bit too bitter for my taste; I couldn't drink it without turning it into a latte. The design of the can is lovely, though, and I'd like to try a different flavor next time.

  • I enjoyed trying this coffee, I also appreciated the variety of flavors!

  • I recently had the opportunity to try the mocha flavored coffee made by Taika. I really liked flavor of the mocha it wasn't overbearing and It wasn't so minimal where it is barely able to distinguish . I feel the flavor was just right and Im eager to try another flavor soon.

  • I loved that it has no added sugar. Would love to try the other two flavors the Whole Foods near me carries because the mocha one was great

  • It is not really sweet however the matcha flavor is not that strong.

  • I really like that there’s 0 sugar added but the taste is too sweet for me still. Also I didn’t feel really energized after having this drink, regular coffee still works the best for me

  • It was ok very nice but energy did not work on me but still was good

  • I really liked this! its so refreshing but the mushroom taste is a bit strong. I would buy this again though because it does feel like it has healthy rewards.

  • I enjoyed the creaminess of the mocha latte! It is one of the best canned Dairy Free options for an on the go coffee.

  • Sadly this one didn’t live up to my expectations. I drink cans of latte regularly and I’ve tried several brands. Taika’s is by far on the healthier side but sadly the taste just isn’t great. You’re left with a not so pleasant aftertaste.

  • I like no sugar drinks so this fits in well. I also love matcha so this is a good flavor

  • This Matcha Latte tasted much more...earthy...than any matcha I've had before. Must be the mushrooms. Not a very pleasant flavor, but it is very smooth and creamy!

  • Had an interesting after taste, I’m sure because of the healthy ingredients. I couldn’t see myself drinking it on a daily basis because of the strong flavor.

  • I love matcha, but it’s difficult to find tasty matcha items in the US. Matcha flavor of this product was pretty good, I could enjoy matcha aroma!

  • It was alright for a canned product. I tried the match flavor and the taste was a bit off compared to 'regular' matcha. Not sure exactly what it was, but I was not too crazy about it. I do like the added benefits, but can't say it did much for me after only one drink.

  • I really like the Taika macadamia latte. I drank it during an afternoon slump and the sweetness and flavor were good. It could have been a little creamier.

  • Matcha Latte by Taika was smooth, creamy and delicious. This drink was great for a midday pick up. I like the added health benefits from this drink. I feel like this is much healthier than the other ready to drink coffee and tea drinks that are on the market. I would definitely re-purchase this.
