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.

  • Love the branding/packaging and the mission behind the product. That being said, I found that the matcha latte had a bit of a bitter aftertaste, maybe due to the other ingredients (e.g. functional mushrooms) in it. Personally for me, I prefer a better tasting product to start my day, otherwise it begins to taste too medicinal.

  • This is a unique caffeinated drink that gives me energy and is as good as the leading coffee and latte brands out there in the market today. Will consider next time I go to my local green supermarket.

  • I enjoy the adaptogens in this coffee - been trying to increase my consumption of them. This makes it easy to do so, especially on the go. You can barely taste them in the coffee.

  • Tasted a bit earthy but not much matcha taste to it; kind of overpowered by the other ingredients? I liked that it was not too sweet.

  • I loved this beverage! It's exciting to see so many flavor options. I tried the matcha latte and it was perfect, not too sweet. Highly recommend.

  • Didnt like these at all, plus, the owner of this company supports the Palestinian genocide

  • It was ok. Super chalky and should be shaken if not it seperates. Not sweet taste like a milk + water with a hint of matcha

  • Matcha latte tasted too artificial and sweet. I could barely taste the matcha.

  • It was very sweet and tasted fake (it's sweetened with erythritol). I enjoyed the coffee taste but it was definitely too sweet and had a weird after taste. Only had a few sips before deciding I couldn't drink any more.

  • I had the mocha latte which helped perk me up in the afternoon after a long day. I found the packaging appealing and liked how lightweight the can was. I liked the flavor but wasn't crazy about the mouthfeel which was almost too creamy.

  • Compared to other canned coffe drinks I’ve tried, this is by far the best! It’s a good mix of sweet, creamy, and coffee tasting without that oily or bitter taste in other brands. It also didn’t make me feel wired from the caffeine and the other added benefits were a nice touch! I would def try the other flavors and buy the Mocha again.
