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 do love the taste soft and delicious

    Verified purchase

  • I got the matcha latte - more nutty flavor than matcha-y flavor in my opinion. Would rather get a matcha latte from a coffee shop for a dollar or two more than this drink.

  • I was really rooting for Taika, but unfortunately had a horrible experience with their Matcha Latte. While the branding and packaging was very cool, the taste of this was so bad that I only ended up drinking half a can. It was not sweet and creamy like the can said and tasted more of macadamia milk and pea protein than anything. About 15 minutes into drinking it I started to not feel so good which I’m not sure if it was from the aftertaste or just the combo of ingredients. I felt like I wanted to throw up but eventually it passed. So sad this didn’t work out as I hoped as I was so excited to try.

  • A bit sweet although the flavours do seem somewhat artificial. Still tasty!

  • I discovered this brand at EEEEEATSCON LA in 2022 and it was nothing short of amazing. The flavors are delicious and the post-consumption energy and aftertaste make it worthwhile alone. They also were testing a sparkling, Yerba beverage, and fingers are crossed that will hit shelves soon! It was my favorite.

    These ingredients filled with adaptogens are supposed to help with the caffeine spike. Most are sweetened a little too much for me, but all the drinks are super smooth.

    Received a free product from Taika
  • tasty drink but nothing special in terms of flavor-- cute packaging and great customer service

  • Expensive but delicious. One of the few “bougie” canned coffee drinks that I felt came close to being worth the price. Get the macadamia latte.

  • Absolutely love these. I get the macadamia latte and drink it every morning. Doesn't make me jittery but still fully awake.

    Very expensive - would love to see prices come down

  • I love the different tupes like macadamia or oat milk latte in a can since it's a bit haard for me to find sometimes.

  • I tried the Taika Metaverse and it was the perfect about of caffeine to keep me going in the afternoon. I drink a lot of coffee and this was a great alternative. It tasted great (not too sweet) and had a delicate amount of carbonation. Would definitely recommend.

  • Really good, unsweetened, lightly sparkling Yerba Mate - perfect amount of energy! Would definitely buy again

  • Had their matcha (which I don't think is out) when sampling at Erewhon. It is great. They nail the flavor and it's in a pretty green can :)

  • I really enjoyed the flavor of this drink! I will definitely come back for the other flavors! Thanks for the great offer

  • These are delicious and creamy. As close to freshly brewed as you can get from a can. Frothy even. We really enjoyed this brand and will buy again!

  • I really enjoyed the creamy mocha coffee flavor and thought it was delicious tremendously. I would buy it again next time!

  • I’ve never tried this brand before and seeing a canned strawberry matcha latte really caught my eye. I also like the added ingredients in it. It’s definitely not too sweet. Worth a try for sure.

  • Delicious! Would definitely buy again. Do not usually get these sort of products but I recommend the matcha latte flavor.

  • I love the concept of this bevvy. It uses clean, healthy ingredients such as adaptagens, matcha and caffeine, and adds creamy, non-dairy nut milk to create a latte mouth feel. It is a tasty can of focus, clarity and well-being to support your mental and physical health. No guilt! Maybe it could use a smidge more sweetness, but all-in-all, I liked it-I feel good when I eat and drink healthy.
