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.

  • Overall I thought it tasted pretty good for a mocha. I thought it was smooth and creamy, but not overally bitter or sweet which I liked.

  • Vert smooth matcha flavor. There’s also no added sugar.

  • I was excited to try this canned latte. It’s a good drink for on the go when you don’t have time to buy or make a latte. The matcha flavor was good but definitely shake before or it can feel too concentrated. The texture was smooth and not grainy. It’s a little on the pricy side so I probably wouldn’t buy often.

  • It's fun to have a colorful drink but maybe I just don't like the taste of matcha. I would definitely try one of the coffee varieties because of the beneficial ingredients (mct oil, etc.).

  • Taste is sweet and creamy. I like that there is no sugar added, plant based, gluten free, dairy free, and non GMO. Lots of energy from caffeine.

  • Quite good, the sweetness isn't over the top because of no added sugar. It's pretty watery not as thick as I expected. The coffee and matcha taste pretty weak but overall still good.

  • Decent product but a bit pricey

  • I really liked Taika. It wasn't too strong of a coffee taste and I was able to detect the mocha flavor.

  • matcha was very approachable / neutral tasting. not bitter or grassy but also not too sweet. it meant that it was a biiiit bland but it was very easy to drink. texture did throw me off a bit but a good beginner matcha without artificial additives.

  • Taika ready to drink Mocha Latte is made with cold brew coffee with macadamia milk. It has zero sugars, and includes adaptogens to help manage stress and restore balance. The flavor of this latte is great, however, it has a grainy texture and tastes watered down. The 100 mg of caffeine kicked in immediately. It gave me instant energy and focus. I would drink this over the conventional energy drinks.

  • Super delicious and a healthier alternative to your typical super sugar latte.

  • I tried the Black Coffee from this brand. It was very convenient to grab as I was running late one morning on my way to work. Good flavor and some nice additional health benefits.

  • Not bad for a canned latte - I tried the Mocha flavor and found it satisfying. I am not a huge coffee aficionado though, and I can imagine someone who is might find this a bit watered down or milkier than preferred. Overall was a decent flavor though.
