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.

  • This is some delicious coffee in a can! After reading some of the other reviews I want to try the Matcha latte next but this one was tasty as well. Can’t wait to go back and buy more. Love a good healthy coffee.

  • The coffee tastes very good. It’s thicker than Starbucks bottled coffee. I pour it over ice. Would buy again.

  • After trying the black coffee, I have nothing but good things to say. A great taste and great additional productivity features. It was a smooth black coffee and I added it to some of my favorite dairy free creamer at home. I would recommend.

  • I tried the matcha drink from my local Sprouts. Really liked it. Would love to try other stuff. Quite creamy and milky. I think it’s a great value. I’m fine with getting this instead of getting cup at a coffee shop.

  • Kinda had a weird after taste, maybe the mushrooms but didn't really enjoy it.

  • Yummy! Didn’t taste like can, had a creamy taste and not too sweet. I didn’t get the jitters which I liked as well. Cheaper than going to Starbucks!

  • I got the matcha latte by Taika and I would say it was pretty average. It didn't have a very strong matcha taste and the taste was slightly off. I am not sure if it is because of the macadamia milk but it did not taste like a matcha latte to me. I did still like the flavor and the packaging was very nice.

  • I chose the matcha latte bc I personally love matcha, I even whisk my own at home. I think it's because of the no sugar but the drink tasted absolutely awful, I could only have one sip. Not sure about the other flavors but I can confidently say, don't get the matcha latte.

  • I tried the macadamia latte on a Sunday afternoon when I needed to run some errands. I definitely felt the lift that the product gave me. I'm usually sluggish by the end of the weekend, but the Taika gave me the energy to cook a more elaborate dinner than I'd usually do, and also to get some things done around the house afterwards. I enjoyed the flavor of the drink too - creamy and not sweet, but pleasant. I wouldn't have identified the macadamia nut flavor if I hadn't known, but it tasted good. The price was the only downside to me - for a small can it did feel overpriced.

  • delicious! love having an alternative to almond and oat based lattes on the market, and the coffee itself was smooth and tasty :)

  • This surprisingly tastes like coffee / mocha, but without coffee! Very creamy and not super sweet. Love it.

  • Loved the taste of this drink and would possibly buy it again, however, I don’t love the fact it contains Erythritol and has “natural flavors”.

  • I always love an on-the-go matcha drink, so I was excited to try Taika’s version. The packaging is nice. I would say that it’s like a classic, bitter-ish matcha blended with a creamy latte. It’s not too sweet, and it’s not too bitter.

  • I tried the Taika and it was fairly good. I thought it should have a touch more on the coffee side as that was not noticeable.

  • Got this for my boyfriend who likes coffee drinks. He really likes the flavor of the macadamia latte but says make sure you shake it up before drinking.

  • I tried the macadamia nut latte. I love the fact that it doesn't have any sugar. It also doesn't have a non sugar taste. It was creamy, but I'm not sure it was consistent throughout the drink. It could just be that mine was super cold. I wish it was in a bigger size and with more caffeine for this price point.

  • I recently tried the Taika Matcha Latte and unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark for me. While the barley-toasted and creamy macadamia notes initially intrigued me, I found the erythritol aftertaste to be unpleasant. It left a lingering taste that I couldn't quite get past, making it difficult to fully enjoy the drink.

  • LOVE IT!!! Very mild matcha taste, very earthy and a great energy boost in place of caffeine. Great ingredients and good price point too.
