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 is an excellent brand of coffee and matcha. I like the health aspect and the added energy it gives me without all the artificial flavorings. The use of adaptogens is a creative new feature for this kind of drink and truly does help my productivity. Furthermore, the flavor is excellent.

  • The Taika Matcha Latte was so delicious. I love that it comes canned and is easy to take with you. The can design is cute too. It tastes delicious and gives you a good boost of energy without the jitters. Definitely will keep a few handy in the fridge from now on.

  • These drinks are good, but honestly nothing i''d go out of my way to get... If I see it in a store, I may grab it because they do taste good and I love the packaging... but at the end of the day it's just a drink! The number you can text is fun though!

  • I'm definitely enjoying this era of canned coffee and tea beverages. Some are better than others, but I'd put Taika in the "good" category. I tried the Macadamia Latte, which was tasty, creamy, and not too sweet. All the adaptogens are fun and unique to Taika; however, it doesn't necessarily make me feel any different than a normal canned coffee. Plus, not sure how effective the dosage is in this form. I am wanting to try the matcha, and would for sure purchase that next time I see it. Seeing a canned matcha latte is more rare and interesting to me (and has a lower caffeine level, which I appreciate).

  • I tried the matcha latte. I really enjoyed it! It was not super sweet and is definitely easier than me making myself one.
