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 latte. I liked the packaging thought the price was fair, and liked the convenience of it. However, I found the taste and texture of the drink to be lacking. I shook the can but it didn’t mix well and there was still some chunks in it and I jus t found the matcha taste to not be great.

  • The matcha latte was ok; it had a slight chalky flavor. Didn't particularly like the color either.

  • Pretty good! Nice, small can for 100mg caffeine. So it packs a punch! Definitely tastes rich and creamy!

  • Tried the matcha latte. Matcha flavor was not that strong but it was tasty. The drink was not too sweet and I love that it’s a plant based milk.

    None, tried myself
  • I tried the Matcha latte and was a bit disappointed, it tasted bland and watery while it should be flavorful and creamy. The packaging is cool and the nutritional content is good though.

  • I am usually a Starbucks girl. I find I get too anxious on coffee so matcha is a good medium for me. I order an iced matcha latte with strawberry puree in the cold foam. I've been inching away from Starbucks, dairy, and well I found that I was spending so much for just a temporary boost. I saw this on my grocery run and decided to give it a try. I was skeptical, and suspicious because I feel like it had too many health buzz words that usually seem too good to be true. First impression: I poured it over ice like I normally have my lattes and stirred. At first it had an unpleasant grassy after taste, and it was more slimy than the promised creamy. After a few sips, my mouth was accustomed to the flavor and the macadamia nut shone through. I decided to make my own strawberry purree and froth it with additional oat milk and it really complimented it. As far as the benefits- I can say it gave me the boost to write this review, get a tedious work project started that I had been putting off, and didn't give me the jitters like most other caffeine related products do. I will give this a 4/5 for now as it did have a very unpleasant taste at first, and the texture which is the hardest thing for me to look over. Frothing the oatmilk strawberry puree that I added to it helped, but I may froth the whole thing in the future.

  • Wow perfectly sweet, creamy matcha tea dairy free latte. Was very convenient to have it in the fridge ready to go in the morning. Not having to make it or stop somewhere. It's not overly sweet which is a big huge plus for me. Honestly it was sweetened exactly how I would have sweetened it. I will be buying more of this.

  • This was not for me. The taste is unusual and the bitterness or sourness was not for me. I would like to explore the benefits of enhanced coffee but the taste must be better.

  • For it’s benefits, it doesn’t taste that bad, but it isn’t something that I would crave or go out of my way to get again. The packaging and benefits are great though.
