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.

  • It tastes ok for me. Matcha and latte are a great combination.

  • The matcha latte was good, I could definitely tell it was made with macadamia milk which was a new flavor I enjoyed. The only thing I disliked about this drink was the amount of erythritol, this caused my stomach to hurt.

  • Tastes pretty good and I like the addition of adaptogens, just very small and pricey

  • A good healthy latte but I’d prefer a sweeter one. I prefer protein coffees.

  • I love the look of the Taika cans. The after taste wasn’t my favorite but I’d be interested in trying other flavors!

  • I recently tried a canned latte macadamia coffee and was pleasantly surprised with how delicious it was. The coffee had a smooth and creamy texture, thanks to the added milk, and the macadamia flavor was subtle yet noticeable. It wasn't too sweet, which I appreciated, and had a nice balance of flavors. The convenience of having it in a can was also a plus, as I could easily take it on the go. Overall, I would definitely recommend giving this canned latte macadamia coffee a try if you're a fan of flavored coffee drinks.

  • I love matcha so I was excited to try this! It had a sort of bitter flavor? But was sweeter (in a good way) than other premade matchas I’ve had. It was good but I can’t see myself going out of my way to buy this, it’s kinda expensive!

  • Tastes delicious but the price point is a bit high. Still love to support this brand and Taika Waititi's initiatives!

  • Overall really good flavor. The chocolate came through and wasn't too sweet. Didn't have an off or weird taste from the added adaptogens and not really sure they add anything to the drink. A bit pricey compared to other canned coffees.

  • Tastes pretty good, I was expecting it to be a little more coffee strong but it wasn’t.

  • I had the matcha drink and it was very smooth and delicious to drink

  • I personally wasn’t a big fan of the matcha flavor. The can says that it’s a ceremonial grade matcha but the drink had a funky grassy aftertaste. The sweetness level was ok but the drink consistency was a bit too watery. Overall, I probably won’t buy this flavor again but I would want to try other flavors

  • I tried the Taika matcha and it was refreshing! It had a vibrant flavor and smooth texture, I’m hooked!

  • This is an interesting alternative to my usual coffee. It was smooth and had a nice flavor. I don’t think I’ll fully make the switch from my morning coffee but this is a product I’d grab if I was out and about to needed a quick and healthy pick me up.
