Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to mushroom-based coffee alternatives or single-adaptogen drinks, Rasa offers a broader herbal blend designed to mimic the depth of coffee. Its closest competitor is other herbal coffee alternatives like Teeccino, but Rasa specifically emphasizes adaptogenic properties with ashwagandha and tulsi, which are less common in general herbal coffees.

How to use it

1. Measure 1-2 tablespoons of Rasa per cup of water (use 1 for mild, 2 for strong).
2. Bring water to a boil and pour over the grounds in a French press or pour-over cone.
3. Steep for 5-7 minutes to extract full flavor and adaptogen benefits.
4. Press or strain into a mug. Optionally add plant-based milk and sweetener.
5. Start with one cup in the morning or early afternoon; the calming adaptogens may make evening use relaxing.
