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.

  • This drink is creamy and full of flavor! It kept me going throughout the day without any jitters. I'm not a fan of the flavor but it was still tasty enough to enjoy and finish. I'll definitely be trying the other flavors available.

  • I like the design of the can, looks cute. I bought the black coffee flavor, it’s really convenient, you just need to put it in the refrigerator, then you can drink it whenever you want. It taste good.

  • Tried both Matcha and Mocha. Loved the Matcha, added cinnamon on top Rich and creamy. Mocha not quite as positive,, but still good.

  • I liked it! Macadamia milk is pretty good. Matcha was good but need to be stronger

  • I tried the matcha and it was okay. I'm not sure I really enjoy the macadamia milk flavor; I think I find it a bit funky. Also I honestly forgot about the whole adaptogens gimmick, and I have to say that I didn't remember feeling any different after drinking it. But maybe that's because it's my first time trying them and I don't know what to look out for. If someone served this to me I would drink it, but I don't think I would go out of my way to buy again.

  • It is a small can and I drank it all in one serving. I did notice the flavor of the matcha which I am new to and also the macadamia milk, neither of these are really appealing to me - there may be a benefit to it but I did not notice any overwhelming effect. It tasted slightly o.k. but I would not buy it again.

  • Big fan of the macadamia latte. Enjoyed the taste and it didn’t give me any jitters. I was expecting an artificial taste (similar to a lot of these functional lattes) but didn’t get that at all!

  • Loved the smooth flavor of the matcha drink. It wasn't too sweet and didn't give me huer burn like other caffeinated drinks. It taste really good cold!

  • Great tasting healthy option for bottled lattes

  • It was ok, it had a bit of a weird aftertaste on its own but better when mixed with some creamer

  • I enjoyed the flavor and love the clean ingredients but it is a bit pricey but then again you get what you pay for so I’ll enjoy on occasion.

  • Very tasty, easy to find, and competitively priced! Really enjoyed this as it was not too sweet, will be buying again!

  • The latte was a bit chalky and really needs a good shaking before consumption. I served over ice and enjoyed for an afternoon pick ‘em up.

  • It's a fabulous beverage. Great matcha flavor and no jitters. It is a great energy booster in the afternoon when I get sluggish. Looking forward to trying the other flavors.

  • I thought the flavor was good, comparable to any other canned alt-milk coffee drink out there. In that regard, I didn't find Taika particularly special. I disliked the gritty texture as I got closer to the bottom of the can, though--like some poorly filtered nut milk. I would not repurchase because there are too many other nice coffee drinks out there without the texture issue.

  • This was delicious! Very smoooth to drink and the coffee taste wasn't overpowering. Brownie points for the cute packaging! Looking forward to trying the other flavors.
