  • Is there sugar in any of your products?
    Nope, no sugar or sweeteners. Zero grams of sugar in every product. We figure if you want it sweet, you can do your thing & add your favorite sweetener.
  • Are your products gluten-free?
    Yep, all of our products contain zero grains or gluten-containing ingredients, and are produced in a gluten-free facility.
  • Where is Rasa made?
    Rasa is based out of Boulder, CO and manufactured in Denver, CO. We source our herbs from all over the world with an ever-increasing obsession for ethics and sustainability.
  • Is Rasa organic?
    Original, Cacao, & Dirty are Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth. The remaining blends have 85% organic herbs. We use non-organic herbs in the rare circumstance where organic is unavailable, or with things like adaptogen powerhouse shilajit, which is technically a rock & therefore can’t be certified organic.
  • Is Rasa Fair Trade?
    We buy Fair Trade or Direct Trade, which many consider better than Fair Trade. Buying direct allows us to have real, caring relationships with our suppliers.
  • Is Rasa Whole30-Approved®?
    Original, Cacao, Dirty, & Bold are Whole30-Approved®. Our other blends are not, due to the use of approximately .1% of cassava-derived dextrin or maltodextrin, which is in these products strictly because without a flow agent, the herbs will turn into a hard brick—and nobody likes hard-brick Rasa.
  • Can you drink Rasa during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

    Rasa was started by a mama who drank it during pregnancy & breastfeeding. However, while there is no scientific evidence saying the herbs in Rasa are unsafe for pregnancy and breastfeeding, there is also no evidence saying that they are safe, either—there’s just not enough information either way.

    Dozens of traditional herbalists, Chinese medicine practitioners, Ayurveda docs, and midwives support Rasa for pregnancy & breastfeeding, but listen to your body and your baby (& your own doc) to know what’s best for your unique situation.

    We don’t recommend Calm or Bold during pregnancy—these blends are too strong for the sensitive ecosystem of the pregnant mother & baby.

  • What are adaptogens, anyway ?

    We’re so happy you asked, because we literally wrote an (e-)book about this. Check out our Definitive Guide to Adaptogens here!

    The quick & dirty: adaptogens are a class of herbs used by indigenous cultures for millennia, but the name “adaptogen” was coined by Russian scientists in the 1940s who were looking to give elite athletes and supersoldiers an edge without the crash.

    Adaptogens strengthen your stress response system, literally exercising it so you can handle higher stress loads with more ease (just like lifting weights).

    Adaptogens can both stimulate & balance our cortisol, giving you more stable energy over time. Stress drains energy, so if you have less stress, you have more energy. Adaptogens have a cumulative effect, so take them daily & watch the benefits stack up!

  • What does Rasa taste like?

    Each of our blends are different in flavor & in function, but they all include our proprietary Digest & Detox™ that includes a roasty, robust combination of roasted roots of chicory, dandelion, burdock roots, and the world’s only organic roasted date seed.

    From there, our clinical herbalist Ben adds combinations of adaptogens, mushrooms, herbs, cacao, and aromatic botanicals for a unique flavor you can drink all day. Be sure to add your favorite creamer and try them all to find your favorites!

    You can also mix and match. Some staff-pick combos:

    • Dirty + Cacao
    • Calm + Super Happy Sunshine
    • Golden Chai + Bold
    • Spicy Rose + Dirty

Spectacular customer service!

Not only have I absolutely loved the products I received from my first order, but customer service went above and beyond to follow through with making sure I received all that I ordered and blessed me tremendously! It’s the little things when a company goes out of their way to show you how much you are appreciated and that they are willing to make things right! I will stay a lifelong customer:)

Original Rasa Starter Kit is Oh So Good

I came across Rasa completely by accident online and was impressed with the website and product details so I gave it a try. Crap, there goes my money! The products I tried with the kit were super good and now I am hooked for life. I have used the "creamer" in everything I bought and it does add a flavor profile and texture that changes the game. i have tried the "original", "calm" and "spicy rose cacao." All were great really. Next I will try the "bold" and "dirty" which might make a good band name. So far leaning toward "calm" as my favorite. The French press that came with the kit is way nicer than I was expecting. The beginner kit is WELL worth the price! I still drink coffee on occasion, but this did hit the spot for a healthy unique alternative that tastes great.

Likes: I feel good and I enjoy the flavor
I'm a fan!

I tried a few flavors of Rasa and I really enjoy the "original." Since I can't tolerate coffee right now, it is the best replacement for a bold, flavorful beverage for the morning (or afternoon!) I really missed coffee, so I was glad to find something that works for me!

Pretty good stuff!

I used to be a big green tea drinker, but resented the feeling that I needed caffeine to get through the day, so I gave it up. I’ve been caffeine free for the past three years and recently decided to give this a go for a subtle energy boost. Really been enjoying it so far, and I’ve also noticed I can still feel the effects of the herbs the next day, unlike the midday crash with coffee. The Original is especially delicious when brewed with a handful of fresh roasted and chopped pecans and a splash of vanilla extract, poured over ice with some milk and maple syrup!
