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 enjoyed this product. Delicious, creamy, coffee beverage that caused no reaction that I can get from other coffee and caffeinated beverages. Very nice sweet flavor, and I certainly appreciate that that there is zero sugar. I’m looking forward to trying other varieties.

  • The matcha latte tastes much better than I thought, it is unsweetened but smooth and not bitter at all.

  • I had the matcha latte with macadamia milk. It's not sweetened and has a good balance of tea and milk flavor. Overall very good, I think it could be more creamy

  • Had their Match Latte and really enjoyed the taste and the effects I had after. Im not a huge caffeine fan as it doesn't sit well, so I always try these innovative products. This works well and it gave me a boost of focus during the workday.

  • I recently tried Taika matcha coffee, and I must say, it’s a delightful experience. The blend of smooth, rich coffee with just the right touch of sweetness makes for a perfect pick-me-up at any time of the day. What truly sets Taika apart is its unique infusion of adaptogens, which leaves you feeling energized yet remarkably balanced, without the usual jitters or crash associated with traditional coffee. It’s not just a coffee; it’s a wellness experience in a can. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their coffee game!

  • I usually make my own enhanced coffee and teas at home by adding various adaptogens like mushroom blends, turmeric, green herbs, ashwagandha, etc. because if I am going to drink something, I want it to be a nutritional powerhouse. Taika is probably the closest thing to homemade, and it is super convenient for me to take my enhanced drink on the go. Not too sweet, and tastes great!

  • Had such a weird taste that I threw it out after 3 sips. Weird aftertaste too.

  • Tasty! Not sure if I would replace my regular coffee with it though. Not sure what happened but mine had bits in it - I'm hoping that it was just three liquid turning ice-y in the cold can

  • The taste is ok, but I think you could get a better made to order latte for the price point ~$5. It has a bit of a strange after taste that canned drinks like this can have. It is sweet and creamy as promised. The color is a bit odd so it’s good it’s in a can.

  • The flavour profile wasn't super pure in terms of the matcha flavour.

  • I really loved their mocha and matcha latte that I tried. Soft and round flavors.

  • This tastes amazing and it’s a great alternative to the unhealthy sugary drinks that are currently available!

  • Great tasting and good branding. It’s a win win for a grab and go RTD latte.

  • Cute branding! I tried the Mocha Latte. Even though I shook the can really well before, it settles very quickly and then there’s weird chunks of stuff/pulp floating around. The taste was fine but the texture grossed me out a little bit.

  • I got the mocha latte. The flavor was good, and the texture was fine, but I do wish I could see the caffeine content. Better served cold!

    Verified purchase

  • I tried the Mocha Latte and it was honestly way better than expected. The coffee flavor was smooth, it was chocolatey without being overpowering, and the sweetness level was just right. I was also impressed with how creamy the macadamia nut milk was!

  • Lovely flavor! I like that it’s low sugar and the match flavor really comes through.
