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 for the Mateverse sparkling beverage. I liked the taste (sparkling unsweetened tea) but I didn't particularly experienced the mental/energy boost it advertises. I would buy again if it was cheaper, $4 a can for sparkling tea feels over-priced.

    Feedback

    The packaging is a bit confusing in terms of what you are to expect. Price seems a bit steep at $4 a can.

  • I tried the Mateverse. I'm a newbie to Yerba Mate, any time I've tried it I haven't loved the musky taste. This is light, fresh, citrusy. It gave a subtle lift, clarity and positivity. Coffee generally makes me anxious, this did not. I have since purchased a couple of cases, thats how happy with it I am.

    The can is a little unclear, it has ingredients for two formulations... and then you look on the bottom of the can to know which formula is right for you. I don't consume much erythritol by choice so was disappointed at first that this trial had it - but then realized it did not. I'm hoping this is just a startup thing where they needed to commit to a can design early in the process before they know the formulation, and that the next round will have clarity.

  • cute for on the go coffee but i dont really like to spend money on stuff like this as it's still more $$ than making my own coffee but doesnt offer the experience that going out to get a coffee does

  • 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.

  • I tried the matcha latte and really enjoyed it! I like the clean ingredients and the taste was perfectly balanced - not to sweet which is huge for me! So many matcha lattes are way to sweet and cover up the matcha taste.

  • Bought one through a try one free coupon. Ended up buying two (matcha and regular oat coffee). Love the flavors - is a nice on the go option for when I don’t have time to make a drink

  • How do I loved this product!!! It was surprising full flavor and the coffee amount it was just perfect. I tried the oat milk latte and it was everything I hoped for. I am going to try the matcha next.

  • The Macadamia latte was a solid OK in my book! I probably wouldn't purchase regularly but I did enjoy having it on a travel day when I needed a quick and easy coffee to take to-go. Different than what other opinions i've seen in reviews, I actually found it pretty enjoyable and while I typically don't want coffee drinks to be too sweet, i didnt mind the sweetness. I also found the consistency to be pretty good, but my standards for canned coffee are just lower than anything id order at a cafe in the first place!

  • Definitely tasty matcha with excellent packaging, branding and mouthfeel. Unclear of the effect of the adaptogens just yet but overall, it's a great product.

  • I just discovered the ultimate pick-me-up: the Taika Mocha Latte! 😍 It's like a hug in a cup, blending rich chocolatey goodness with that smooth coffee kick we all crave. Perfect for those cozy mornings or when you need an afternoon boost. Plus, it's made with adaptogens to help keep stress at bay—talk about multitasking magic! 🌟 Whether you're sipping it on your morning commute or enjoying some chill time at home, this latte is absolutely my new fave. Have you tried it yet?

  • The Taika Matcha Latte is a total winner! It’s perfectly balanced with a creamy, smooth texture and just the right amount of sweetness. The matcha flavor is rich and earthy, without any bitterness, making it an absolute joy to sip. I love that it’s made with adaptogens and functional ingredients that help me stay focused and energized without the jitters or crash. It’s my go-to drink for busy mornings or a mid-day pick-me-up. If you’re looking for a matcha latte that’s convenient, delicious, and packed with benefits, Taika is a must-try. Highly recommend!

  • I recently tried Taika Coffee, and while the flavor was enjoyable, I experienced some unexpected side effects afterward. The coffee has a smooth and rich taste, with a pleasant balance that made it a delight to sip. However, shortly after drinking it, I felt quite off, which detracted from the overall experience. It’s disappointing because I was looking forward to enjoying a good cup of coffee, but the uncomfortable feeling lingered. I appreciate the taste, but I might need to explore other options in the future.

  • Tastes okay, definitely not worth the price especially considering the taste. I felt like it was an average product. Would not purchase again.

  • So much flavor and enjoyment in one little can. I enjoyed drinking the macadamia latte. Amazing flavor. Just so small wish I had more and more to drink. Truly in love with the ingredients.

  • I tried to matcha latte and it was lovely. It was creamy and not too sweet, with a nice earthy touch. It was very enjoyable and not bitter/too sweet like some packaged matcha can be. I would pick this up again! I brought it with me on a road trip and it was very convenient.

  • I like the branding and the ingredients, but having previously tried other coffee-based products with adaptogens, such as those offered by Four Sigmatic, I was somewhat disappointed by the bitter and more medicinal flavors that came through in the Macadamia Latte beverage from Taika. This taste may be more palatable to some, but as more of a coffee-purist, I would prefer to add nutritional supplements to another beverage or food item.
