A first-of-its-kind, Taika's matcha drink is perfectly calibrated with a blend of matcha and adaptogens, leaving the consumer feeling inspired and jitter-free. Known for its highly functional blends of coffee, tea, and adaptogens, Taika's new canned beverage is made with house-made macadamia milk. The vegan blend uses [USDA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uncle-matts-organic-yerba-mate-energy-tea) organic ceremonial grade matcha sourced from a 100-year-old company. One of the world's leading matcha manufacturers, the leaves are grown on farms in Nishio, Aichi, and Kyoto in Japan. Boasting a fresh, umami flavor, Taika's organic matcha has bold accents of flavor to appeal to the taste buds. After harvesting the tea leaves, they are quickly steamed to preserve their beautiful aroma and taste.
