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.

  • Creamy and delicious! The drink was excellent! I just wish it could have been sweeter but I just added stevia drops to it and it was perfect. The macadamia flavor didn't really stand out to me but still really good

  • It was so smooth, creamy & balanced flavors well! I got the matcha flavor and the macadamia milk glides right over the extra goodies added in to the drink so you're only tasting macadamia & matcha. I will definitely be enjoying these again and can't wait to grab a couple more! 🥰

  • This drink was delicious! It had a pretty strong matcha flavor which I love and didn’t have any bad aftertaste. Can’t wait to try other flavors!

  • I love the fact that Taika uses ashwagandha and theanine in their matcha latte drink. I'm a big matcha drinker opting to make my own at home. The flavor of this matcha is ok, for me I added more milk to make it creamy how I like it. As an on the go matcha drink this is great to have in the fridge.

  • Enjoyed the flavor. My initial thought was that it taste similar to the can vietnamese soymilk. It was creamy and a slight bitterness from the matcha. Good quality ingredients you can taste

  • I was afraid that the coffee would be tasteless due to the functional additives, but it tastes just cold brew coffee, tasty, strong, rich, unsweetened. I like. In addition, it is healthier than regular coffee and invigorates better.

  • I tried the Matcha Latte. The matcha was subtle but it was there. The drink was smooth and tasted pretty good. I like that it’s not overly sweet like the matcha latte from Starbucks. This latte is great for on the go!

  • I’ve had my fair share of canned coffee. The label says “sweet & creamy” it is not sweet and is more sludge like. Would not recommend.

  • Those who love matcha will definitely like it. The taste is a little bitter for me, I like a less intense matcha. However, it is a great tonic!

  • I like that these include adaptogens like lion’s mane and ashwagandha but the flavor I bought (Macadamia Latte) had a bit of a strange after taste. I want to give this brand another try- testing some of their other flavors. Overall - clean ingredients, not overly sweet, and tastes pretty good!

  • The Taika Macadamia Latte brings a luscious blend of sweet and nutty flavors that is hard not to enjoy. It's as delightful to the eyes as it is to the tastebuds—the captivating packaging design and alluring colors invite you right in! Major kudos for the laudable feat of having zero grams of sugar while retaining such richness of taste—a real win for health-conscious coffee enthusiasts. I just have one small suggestion to enhance the drinking experience even further: include a ‘Shake Before Use’ instruction on the can. This would help the bits of macadamia disperse better, making every sip as smooth as silk. Overall, the Taika Macadamia Latte truly offers a tasty, guilt-free indulgence that coffee lovers can imbibe with pleasure!

  • Creamy and delicious cold brew from a can! Better than most other pre -packaged coffee that I've tried. I also love that there's no added sugar.

  • I like buying oat milk latte’s so I thought I would give Taika a shot. The latte is creamy, sweet and tasted like coffee, but it has an odd taste that I can’t quite make out what it is. I liked that I felt good after drinking it because it doesn’t have sugar added. I didn’t enjoy that it was night in sodium. I don’t see this as a regular product I would purchase.

  • It was tasty! I poured it over ice which made it ever better. It wasn’t as sweet as I normally like my coffee but for a nice refreshing drink I don’t mind it! Especially with no added sugar & an extra energy boost from the caffeine. I will definitely try the other flavors as well!

  • I was nicely surprised by this! I’m picky about matcha and not a huge fan of canned drinks in general. This tastes like quality matcha and macadamia milk. I like that it’s only subtly sweet and has zero refined sugar. I can feel the adaptogens work, too— it made me feel very chill and relaxed. I will definitely buy again!

  • I wanted to like this, but it fell flat. I had the oat milk latte, and it didn't taste like much of anything. I also shook it very well before opening and swallowed something that wasn't fully liquid. Poured it out and saw small clumps - is it the mushroom powder? The product has no added sugar, but it needs something to enhance the flavor, and please explore what clumped up in it - I couldn't finish it after that experience.

    Received a free product from Taika
  • The macadamia latte was yummy, but does give an aftertaste as if drinking a protein shake. I think I’d like it more poured over ice but the flavor was good! For a small can with a price of about what a Starbucks can would cost it, it’s probably not going to be my first choice.

  • I love that this has a combination of coffee with pea protein and a "Taika Blend" of L-theanine, ashwagandha, and lion’s mane mushrooms, but the Macadamia Latte was way too sweet for me. The Mocha, Oat, and Macha are probably similar since they also have a sweetener blend of erythritol and monk fruit. I'd definitely try the Black Coffee that just has single origin cold brewed coffee with the Taikia mushroom blend and add my own milk.

  • I loved this Matcha Latte from Taika! It has a very light, refreshing flavor with a silky smooth texture. The taste actually reminds me more of a latte than matcha, it’s not as strong as your average latte or matcha but it had just enough matcha flavor to consider it matcha. Either way it was nice to drink!
