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 was ok. It was light and yet not too sweet at all. I wish they make it a little more creamier. It will be perfect.

  • I like the particular ingredients of Lions Mane and Ashwagandha. I liked the creaminess of the smooth drink as I drank. It tasted ok but is pricey. Unsure of repeat consumption.

  • Appealing packaging, flavors and ingredients. The taste of this drink was not for me (I found it a bit too sweet with a metallic aftertaste), but I could imagine that those who are used to the flavors of adaptogens might enjoy it more. That said, I read another review that mentioned using this as a sort of creamer for your cold brew, which I could see being nice and wish I had tried!

  • I got matcha flavor and it wqs pretty good. I will say it could be sweeter

  • Smooth, just gently sweet matcha latte. I'd prefer a richer stronger taste of matcha, a little more sweetness, and maybe less ingredients... but I really like the taste of macadamia milk combined with matcha. So it's a good second to-go choice from things I've tried.

  • I tried the macadamia flavor. I didn’t love it. I would have preferred a few grams of real sugar to 10grams of fake sugar. It was a bit artificial tasting. In combination w the other added “healthy” ingredients that aren’t typically in coffee, I thought the flavors clashed a bit. I was intrigued by the macadamia component, but I reckon the other flavors may be better.

  • Taika latte claims that it helps promote brain functioning and appears to have clean, vegan friendly ingredients. I didn’t notice any change in mental focus but I like that there was a variety of flavors to select from, however, I would not switch to this brand over my current coffee brand of choice due to the overall flavor and aftertaste.

  • Loved it! It was so creamy and easy to drink -- I wish the can was larger.

  • I was super pleased with the canned matcha latte. I love the functionality and ingredients. I would probably paying at least double for a matcha latte with macadamia milk from a cafe so I thought it was worth the price. Will be repurchasing!

  • I tried the Macha latte. As far as canned coffee/teas go this is certainly up there for me. I like that it isn't too sweet, very suitable for adding in your own flavor, but I wish there was a tad more flavor amongst the earthy taste.

  • I couldn't really tell if I felt any of the adaptogen benefits, but it can't hurt to have them in the drink. The matcha latte I drank was pretty tasty, it had the matcha flavor and was smooth, not overly sweet or watery.
