Taika creates coffee and matcha made from adaptogens, designed to make you more productive.

At Taika (“magic” in Finnish) we have one mission - fueling creativity. We're the next generation creative energy company. We make a range of award-winning beverages blended with adaptogens designed to make you feel inspired, not wired. 

Developed by Kal Freese (two-time Finnish Barista Champion and top 10 World Barista Champion), and Michael Sharon (former Facebook product manager) - our software-like development approach combines food science and premium ingredients to create outrageously delicious drinks that are secretly healthy for you - like the world’s first macadamia latte in a can. 

Taika’s delicious coffee and matcha lattes are made from all natural ingredients, infused with adaptogens with no sugar, unnecessary carbs, or artificial additives. All products are plant-based, keto-friendly and have no added sugar. Current lineup includes Black Coffee, Oat Milk Latte, Macadamia Latte, Mocha Latte and Matcha Latte. 

Some of the most creative people in the world fuel their best work with Taika, including Oscar and Emmy winning film maker Taika Waititi, the late Virgil Abloh, Grammy award winning musician Ryan Tedder, founder and investor Sophia Amoruso,  and science fiction author Hugh Howey among others.

Drink

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.
