Rasa - here to transform the way we energize
Adaptogens
Adapto-whats?
Adaptogens are practically magical herbs that grow (and thrive!) in stressful environments. In short*, they help your body cope with stress by giving your body what it needs in the moment.
Exhausted? An adaptogenic herb will perk you up.
Wired as heck? That same adaptogenic herb will calm you down.
Yes, they really are that brilliant.
Adaptogens help you to freak out slower (& less intensely!), and recover faster in response to stress…all while increasing stress resilience overall.
They work via your endocrine and nervous systems to help you cope with stress better.

Why Rasa? How it started
Meet Lopa, founder of Rasa
"Hi! 👋 I’m Lopa. I had my first baby during the most stressful year of my life. (Trust me, it was one for the record books!)
Many moms guzzle coffee to get through the bone-deep exhaustion of early motherhood (no shade if that’s you!)...but my nervous system was frriiiieeed and coffee just gave me anxiety, panic attacks, & crap sleep.
I needed something that didn’t “steal energy from tomorrow to fuel today,” as Traditional Chinese Medicine says.
I tried *every* coffee alternative, but...meh. Chalky. Weak. Low-quality ingredients. No energy or functional benefits. So-called “natural” flavors that lacked OOMPH.
Worst of all? Fake adaptogens (yep, it’s a thing) and unsustainable ingredients. 😕 Hard no.
And So Rasa Was Born...
I took my decade-long personal devotion to Ayurveda and partnered with an herbalist to craft a dark, rich, and roasty coffee alternative, loaded with adaptogens.
What started with me elbow-deep blending herbs in my kitchen (+, let's be real, processing trauma and being a new, harried mom) has now served over 100,000 customers worldwide. I am deeply humbled & grateful to be able to share Rasa with you.
Cheers to your joy & love to your heart.
💛,
Lopa"
“Lovely, but...obsessive... nitpicky...annoyingly ethical”
Cacao Blend
An indulgent treat you can say yes to... every day (Seriously. We guzzle it here at the Wuji HQ), and yet is still packed with adaptogens and antioxidants to be healthy enough to drink daily. And with 5 mg caffeine per 8 oz cup, you can also drink it all day long!
Rasa tested dozens of cacao beans to find the perfect beans to complement the signature Rasa formula and also meet their stringent standards for sustainability and ethics. Rasa's Ecuadorian nacional cacao beans were selected for their bright and robust chocolate flavor that brought out the best in our coffee alternative blend. The beans are then sun dried and gently roasted for a chocolate flavor to savor that gives you a happy energy that sustains all day.
Rasa's cacao is sourced direct-trade, which offers a closer relationship with their suppliers and affords them better than fair-trade pricing.
Go on, take a moment for yourself!
Dirty Blend
Your daily coffee, now with a hug for your nervous system.
The signature Rasa adaptogen formula blended with organic, fair trade coffee—sourced only from women-owned and operated farms. For days when
you need that extra boost, it’s one of our favorite ways to enjoy Rasa.
The adaptogens in Rasa's signature formula balance out the nervous system and adrenal impacts of the coffee for a sustainable energy boost that many who are sensitive to coffee say is "the only coffee I can drink."
Balanced, sweet and chocolatey with an earthy note. We tested dozens of coffees to find a bean to pair perfectly with our adaptogenic blend and optimize the grind that would perform optimally
with Rasa's longer brew time.
✨Just another reminder that you’ve got this and we’ve got you. ✨
35 mg caffeine per 8 oz cup (~1/3 a regular cup of coffee) or brew it double-strong if you want more juice.
Mix with Cacao Rasa for a delicious mocha blend.
