Taika is a highly praised brand for its variety of flavors, health-conscious approach, and use of adaptogens in their drinks. Customers enjoy its tasty offerings, particularly the Matcha and Mocha Lattes, and appreciate its commitment to health, evident in their use of zero sugar and inclusion of healthier, dairy-free alternatives like macadamia and oat milk. However, some customers have reported issues with texture, citing chalkiness or clumpiness in the product. There have also been comments about an unusual or slightly bitter aftertaste, and others mentioned a high price point relative to the product size.

The flavor was off putting. It reminded me of if you left a tea out for a few days and then came back to drink it. The rawness of the nut milk provided an unpleasant mouth feel. 

Matcha Latte was so good. Its not super sweet like starbucks and taste refreshing. You can taste its ceremonial grade Matcha. I also liked it had pea protein in it.

The macadamia latte was delicious. I replaced my morning coffee with it one morning and it did the job! It was very creamy tasting with no side effects of true dairy. I do not purchase many single serve latte drinks, but when I am feeling up for a treat Taika will be top of my list to grab from the shelf! I would love to try out the matcha latte as well! 

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

I understand why people who are into adaptogens and stuff may like this drink. I’m not against all that stuff but the taste was just horrible to me. I tried the macadamia latte

This gets the job DONE. There was the right amount of caffeine without feeling jittery. The only reason why I am rating this 4/5 is because of the bitterness and aftertaste that I'm not used to with this specific matcha. 

I learned from this product that I do not like macadamia milk-based products. I found the mocha latte with a macadamia base honestly hard to choke down. The texture was a bit chalky and I really did not like the aftertaste. That said, I'd try other Taika products that have a different base. 

Taika's Matcha Latte made me want to try their other beverages. The flavor could be better but the benefits outweighed the flavor for me. It's perfect for when you need a little boost of energy and focus for productivity. I would recommend!
