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.

As a college student who suffers from anxiety and loves the taste of coffee, cutting down on caffeine has been difficult. I know that it worsens my symptoms, but on the days when I feel exhausted I usually buy a coffee anyways just so I can have some energy even though I know anxiety will come with it. I was excited to try a product that markets as being energizing without the jitters. I unfortunately can't say that I didn't feel any anxiety, but I certainly didn't feel as much as I would with a normal iced latte. Aside from that, the taste was pretty good. I am personally not a fan of cold brew so I wasn't expecting to love it, but it was pretty good. My only complaint taste wise would be that it's quite sweet for me, and I had to add some milk to offset it. I know a lot of people only like very sweet coffee, so for some that's probably a plus, just not for me. Would I say its worth the price, honestly 3.99 is MUCH cheaper than an iced latte/coldbrew with an alternative milk at basically any coffee shop ever. Plus it has all of the other adaptogens and such, and it actually tastes good. So I would say it is worth the price.

Pretty good! It's smooth, creamy and not overly sweet. There's a perfect blend of each ingredient. The ingredients are also healthy and keep me from feeling guilt free! I highly appreciate the added caffeine and look forward to trying more flavors!

I’m pretty new to the idea of adaptogens but I do enjoy matcha lattes so I was excited for the opportunity to try this out. The taste was okay. It certainly tasted like a matcha latte but then followed with a sour aftertaste. I was also not a fan of the texture. I thought I purchased a drink that had gone bad and ended up tossing it out for fear of getting sick. After reading the other reviews on here, this is normal and it even says to “shake well” on the can. Would I purchase in the future? No, unfortunately :(

By far my favorite pre-made coffee beverage--tastes absolutely amazing, and the L-theanine keeps me from getting too "worked up" from the caffeine (I'm incredibly sensitive to caffeine). Love the Macadamia flavor! Highly recommend.

A great drink for a grab and go that won't make wired. Made with macadamia milk which is delicious. Shake well and enjoy.

Wasn't for me. Flavorless and didn't notice a benefit from the adaptogens.

Decent coffee. Okay taste, but it had a chalky texture and strange aftertaste. Wish it was a larger portion for the price.

Smooth and creamy, light matcha taste. Not too sweet or too strong. The can should be twice the size for the price.

I am happy to have a convenient matcha latte option. The taste is pretty good but I prefer other matcha latte.

I did not like the artificial sweetness flavor of this drink. I would prefer one with real sugar. However, this could be a good option for those who cannot consume sugar or want something sweet without the sugar.

They have a nice variety of flavors, but it tastes like a 0 sugar drink. Wouldn't get it again.
