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 was very excited about these lattes (Matcha, Macadamia and Oat) as I am an alternative milk and coffee drinker. Overall I found these to be too sweet and a bit thick in texture. I tried heating them up and they were actually less sweet somehow and more enjoyable. If the sweetness was reduces or balanced a bit more these could be a win. Hope they keep tweaking the flavor as the idea and adaptogens are awesome.

  • Love the Matcha latte flavor! Delicious, no sugar, and just the right amount of caffeine.

  • I love coffee in all forms, so I was excited when the chance to try Taika came along. I am a big fan of anything macadamia, so I bought the Macadamia Latte and tried it. It's got the right amount of sweetness with no aftertaste. I also like the fact that it's zero sugar. I'm not sure what was floating around in it, and it seemed to be a little bitter, enough to start to overpower the macadamia taste. Given the other zero sugar options on the market, I would probably take a pass on this. I'm waiting for the adaptogens to kick in. I'll follow up with more details if I notice anything.

  • Good flavor, a bit too sweet but not bad!

  • Love the convenience of grab and go coffee and the variety of flavors offered by the company. I opted to try the basic oat milk latte and thought the taste was okay, but had a slight aftertaste that wasn’t ideal…overall it seems like a less sugary option but wouldn’t be the first one I’d reach for.

  • I tried the macadamia latte flavor - the flavor was great and I love having a dairy-free option. My drink did have some clumps which I didn't love. (I shook it a bit, but didn't see anything on the can about shaking, so I didn't shake super aggressively). I didn't notice any effects from the adaptogens, but I thought it tasted great, so I'd definitely have it again.

  • Very yummy - i could not believe there was zero sugar. It is naturally filling and sweet.

  • This was a good tasting drink and it was fun to try the matcha flavor. The taste was good but I am still deciding if I would purchase again.

  • I tried the mocha latte and it was pretty good. At first it tasted a bit odd to me I think due to the macadamia milk, which I’m not used to. However, it started to grow on me the more I drank it.

  • I liked the taste of this. I think I had more energy afterwards without the caffeine effect I usually have with coffee in the afternoon.

  • I tried the Mocha latte. It had a nice chocolate coffee flavor and was very smooth. It’s nice that there is zero sugar. The caffeine gave me an extra energy boost.

  • Great flavor, convenient packaging - I'm a fan!

  • Overall, I liked this product for the ease and to have something on the go but only reason I can't give 5 stars is that it just doesn't compare to an actual homemade or coffee shop made beverage.

  • It was easy to find the product at the local Sprouts. Nice size can, good price crv too high. The drink itself was flavorful and tasty. I would buy it again. Thanks for the chance to try it free!
