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 really wanted to like this product. However, upon opening it, I did notice some white chunks. I then checked the expiration date and the product does not expire until January 2025. It smelled fine and tasted fine, and I’m not sure if this is normal, but I just didn’t want to chance it.

  • I tried Mocha latte and it tasted good. I had this pour over in a glass with cup of ice, and it was good. I was also excited about the Ashwagandha and Theanine which help your body mostly when you are stressed out. This is also sweetened with Mock Fruit which means lesser calories, I had this in the early afternoon which provided me an extra boost at work but I would definitely try this Dairy Free Alternative on the go while on road trips. The milk texture was similar to other dairy free coffee but the flavor was good. It would have been helpful if they listed the origin of the coffee and the roast type which are essential for me to try a new brand.

  • Try the Macadamia Latte and it was good. It wasn't water down. It had a mild to strong coffee taste. I would definitely buy again and try the other flavors

  • Taika matcha latte is sweet and creamy. I surprised that it made with macadamia milk!! They have a lot amazing ingredients added like clarity and focus and clam from lion mane and ashwagandha. Great drink from this little can. I love it.

  • I usually make my own coffee in the mornings but I love Taika for when I'm short on time and just want to grab something easy from the fridge! It is a little expensive for the volume, but worth it as a treat from time-to-time. The taste is a little sweeter than what I prefer, but I enjoy the nuttiness of it. I usually get the Macadamia latte, but I'd be curious to try the matcha and oatmilk latte too.

  • Loved trying this product. Very tasty. With zero sugar and 3 net carbs this is something I am able to drink. I will be purchasing this again but will be looking for sales. I thought $3.79 was a little steep for me!

  • I love matcha! To have matcha infused with macadamia milk is chef kiss!!! I can easily pair this beverage up with a bagel and cream cheese and y’all my breakfast is served!

  • I had picked you the Mocha Latte flavor of Taika. It has the right amount of caffeine that I can tolerate. The taste was not that bad, it has the mocha flavor that I like. The only thing I didn't like was the amount of saturated fat in the 8oz can. It is 25% of daily value. I did like it has ashwagandha and theanine.

  • The bottle said to shake well so I did but was still met with really chunky clots of milk in my drink. At first I thought the coffee had gone bad. The flavor itself was pretty good and not too sweet but the texture was so off-putting and I couldn’t get past it. No amount of stirring made the chunks fully dissipate.

  • In short, Taika Matcha Latte isn’t just another drink—it’s an experience. It’s the perfect blend of matcha and coffee, designed to give you that extra spark of creativity and inspiration. So next time you need a boost, skip the usual and reach for Taika. You won't be disappointed.

  • I was cleaning my room and needed a boost of energy. Taika has natural ingredients and fits in my new diet life. It's creamy and the matcha latte has a great flavor. Im loving that its zero sugar and only 80 calories.

  • I absolutely love this coffee. I have tried all of the flavors and my favorite is the Matcha Latte. I like that it has no sugar and no added sugar. It has a minimal amount of caffeine and the flavor is all around amazing!

  • I love getting matcha latte at my local tea shop so I appreciate this cheaper ready-to-go can. The matcha taste is on the weaker side compared to what I'm used to and I did notice an aftertaste. It was the perfect mid-afternoon energy boost that I needed.

  • The fact that they use ceremonial grade matcha would have me seeking out this brand specifically. The taste and pairing with macadamia milk was so good!

  • Nice coffee drink for a change but not a regular replacement. It has a sweet and creamy texture and you can taste the Macadamia milk, however it wouldn't inspire me to change and want this daily.

  • I don’t drink a lot of canned coffee, but I thought this was really delicious! Using macadamia milk instead of cow milk avoided having to use whatever preservatives make milk gummy a lot , and it did not taste like it had zero sugar! Do I believe all the claims about focus, clarity, and calm? Not really. But I would buy this again!

  • It is delicious and creamy.It is also processed sugar free. The coffee flavor isn’t too bold (quite smooth). I like that it is mixed with Macadamia Milk, making it more healthier. So, the bottom line - the flavor is good snd I loved the ingredients

  • I sampled the matcha flavor, and I found it to be pleasantly not too sweet, which I liked. The beverage has a thick consistency, and I personally prefer enjoying it over ice. However, the flavor, in my opinion, is somewhat bland. I can distinctly taste the macadamia nut milk, and it leans towards the bitter side. It's not the worst, but it's also not the best.

  • I decided to try Taika's Mocha Latte as I was curious about the added adaptogens. I found the creamy texture pleasing, however, I did find it to have an odd somewhat bitter aftertaste. I did feel more awake for the rest of the afternoon without any coffee jitters - I'm impressed that the adaptogens did work and the difference is noticeable!

  • I recently tried Taika Matcha Latte and absolutely loved it! It has a delicious, creamy flavor and the perfect balance of sweetness. I also love that it has adaptogens, zero sugar and caffeine. After consuming this beverage, I noticed an increase in my mental clarity, focus and calmness. This is my new favorite drink!
