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 tried the matcha as an alternative to my favorite brand and was unfortunately highly disappointed. The macadamia just didn't go well with the matcha and it tasted chalky.

  • Health-conscious and indulgent

  • I wanted to love taika as an overall collection but a few individual flavors fell short. The macadamia was my top favorite flavor (only when extremely cold). The black coffee left a bitter taste in my mouth... strangely soy like?

  • The taste is quite good, I like it very much. And the packaging is also nice. The price is reasonable. I will continue to purchase it.

  • I got the Matcha flavor, was not a fan. It was a bitter taste but didn’t taste like matcha. Love the Ingredients and look of the bottle just didn’t like the taste.

  • I purchased two cans and I loved the taste look and feel of this product. Nice flavor. Definitely recommend. It's just as described.

  • I love their many options - macadamia and oat milk versions are my fave. I got the matcha latte as well and really enjoyed it, as I drink matcha every morning!

  • Delicious and tasty oat milk latte. Easy to take on the go, not too sweet and the perfect amount of creaminess. Perfect on days that I do not have time to make coffee in the morning!

  • Kind of weird tasting honestly but not horrible

  • This is a great product and overall I would be happy to try it again. I think that more people should see the better side of these items

  • I was not a huge fan of the texture/flavor of this drink- but I’m sure others would love it! It just wasn’t for me unfortunately.

  • Yum! I haven't liked many brands of canned coffee, but I was a fan of these. They tasted good and fit well within my diet plan since they're lower in calories and sugar compared to similar latte/flavored coffee drinks. Their packaging is cute too and I like knowing they have productivity-boosting health benefits (though I can't say I noticed that boost more than I might from a regular coffee). Price point might prevent me from buying these on a regular basis.

  • I got the Oat milk latte and it was not good. Not sure if it was the type of oat milk they used or the beans, but it tasted sour. It was definitely not expired. I would not recommend this.

  • I loved the flavors but the matcha latte left a slight bitter after taste.

    Verified purchase

  • Absolutely love the matcha flavor! Just the right amount of sweetness, creamy without watering down the matcha taste. Would definitely buy again!

  • Pretty good, but the macadamia flavor was stronger than I expected. Too expensive to purchase on a regular basis but fun to try something different, and has a good level of caffeine.

  • I found a little too sweet and would’ve enjoyed a stronger coffee flavor. It didn’t taste what I was expecting. I had higher hopes for it.

  • Delicious coffee that gives you a boost in the morning or afternoon. Love the compact size that doesn't compromise on taste or energy. Would recommend!

  • havent tried all flavors but i have had most of the milky ones. i think they have such a perfect balance of sweet & creamy and the energetic ratio is never overwhelming. nothing about these are *too much*. i always feel a creative burst and often am more optimistic after comsuming. so i especially like to drink them on days i know i am going to need that right brain power. HUGE fan 🪭

  • The macadamia latte is delicious. I like that this doesn't have any added sugar. It also has adaptogens which adds more healthy benefits.
