We’re here to transform the way you energize, and set a new standard for sustainable business…with love.

About us

Rasa was founded in 2018 by Lopa van der Mersch, who was looking for a better way to energize after having a baby. She had years of study in Ayurveda and its sister sciences, which inspired her to fill our daily cup with more than the spike-&-slump cycle of coffee. Rasa is a line of deliciously robust coffee alternatives that combine adaptogens, mushrooms, & prebiotics to give nourishing energy that sustains. Our herbalist-formulated blends pay homage to the wisdom of Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, & Western Herbalism, plus a hearty dose of scientific research. We're on a mission to provide an affordable, delicious alternative to coffee that nourishes while it energizes as a counter to the extractive demands of modern life. We are a brand that cares an abnormal amount, which shows up across our obsessively sustainable supply chain, internally in our culture, and in how we treat every one of our 100,000 customers...including trolls. We strive to live by the principles of Conscious Leadership, weaving in Brené Brown's work, and run through the engine of EOS...all in a culture that is peppered with "that's what she said" jokes (because really, do we have to all take everything so seriously?). Our rapid growth means we're fast paced, but we've got the best possible fuel in our cup and a supportive, uplifting culture that inspires us to grow and develop not only professionally but also personally. Your gender, your gods, the color of your skin, who you love or have sex with, who you know...none of that matters. If you’re smart, good at your job, and sincerely want to make the world a better place with accessible plant medicine, hard work, and a whole lotta love...we want to hear from you. And to be explicit: we wholeheartedly welcome trans people. We see you and we love you.

    Did you know many coffee alternatives (and other food and supplement products for that matter) don't have to label maltodextrin? For a functional product, we believe that you have to have good ingredients. #highquality #transparency #maltodextrin #wearerasa #knowledge #herbs #supplements #ingredients

    Co-Founder & Chief Herbalist at Rasa 🌿 🍄 ☕️

    Herbalist Hot Take: Can we re-normalize singing to plants? A friend recently sent me half a dozen tulsi mantras from India. Another friend shared a Yiddish song for Linden, "Lindenboym". As the great South American vegetalista Don Manuel Córdova-Rios said: "What good do you think my remedies would be if I didn't sing to them?" Our sustainability work in the global herbal supply chain manifests in many different ways, but often I feel like I'm missing some foundational devotional component that would help complete the circle. What if we added "Singing to the plants" to our lists of metrics and goals? photo: sacred temple tulsi in Karnataka

    What happens when you blend one of Rasa®'s most popular adaptogen and mushroom mixes, Cacao, and our number one customer request? Introducing Cacao Noir, an even better tasting blend that is made instantly. No more cleaning that French press. Just add water and enjoy. https://lnkd.in/e9yEr5zd But we won't stop there, we took it one step further and created 3 more blends, including something completely different: Matcha Cloud. AA ceremonial grade matcha puts this grades above your average matcha latte. Our matcha is extra-high in l-theanine (for flow and focus) and chlorophyll (hello antioxidants!). We added a touch of coconut milk and coconut sugar for an elevated, rich taste. Most importantly, we added our Rasa adaptogen and mushroom blend that you know and trust to be the best quality in the industry. https://lnkd.in/eAUwZQh9 Let us know what you think!
