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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I tried the matcha latte. I really enjoyed it! It was not super sweet and is definitely easier than me making myself one.

I had the mocha taika coffee drink, and I enjoyed it. I liked that it tasted sweet without any extra sugar, and the taste was pretty good. I'm not sure about the macadamia nut milk, because there was a flavor that I didn't totally love in there.
Got the mateverse on Thingdrop and thought it was fine but I wasn't wowed. There are so many functional beverages on the market, and I'm not sure this one totally stands out. That said, I can always go for a refreshing bubbly beverage.

Tried the Matcha from Whole Foods. Very tasty.

I've really been into trying beverages with adaptogens recently and Taika does not disappoint! Their Strawberry Matcha is my favorite - so refreshing. The best part - ZERO Sugar!
Great taste

The Macadamia Latte was nice, but I think Black Coffee would have been more preferred.

I tried the macadamia latte made with macadamia nut milk. I've never tried a latte made with that kind of milk before. I normally like nut-based milks (like almond) but this drink wasn't for me. The texture was fine (even though the drink has pea protein which can give drinks a grainy texture sometimes). The flavor was just weird for me. My husband tried the drink and actually thought it was fine. I'd be up to try a different flavor from Taika. For $3 a drink, I think that's reasonable and the ingredients were "clean" and simple enough for my liking. I enjoy that Taika doesn't use Stevia as well

Too good!
This review is short, but not on substance! This is probably the best canned coffee functional drink I've ever had. It hits all the benefits while low in calories and having exceptional taste and mouthfeel.

Super flavor and just the right amount of kick that I needed.

not my first choice in the beverage aisle, to say the least. had high hopes but still searching for the perfect canned coffee (if that even exists??)

I tried the Mocha flavor and really liked it! It reminded me of the Rebel drinks. The flavor wasn't too strong and I didn't feel too much of a kick from the caffeine though. I would buy again and try the other flavors tbh!

It genuinely just does not taste good. Very watery taste.
so... chunky? clumpy? cute packaging won't buy me- it tastes like 😵💫
I love the Taika product and always look to try brands with adaptogens and other functional benefits. I've tried both the matcha latte and macadamia latte and enjoy the thicker consistency. That said, there is a slightly bitter taste that I don't personally love. Perhaps it comes from the MCT oil or the Ashwagandha in some varieties, but one of the ingredients does live a "bitter" taste in my mouth.

Tried Matcha and didn't love it. it doesn't taste fresh and also have a weird aftertaste that wasn't enjoyable.
