We think this says it all ✨ Get on the de-caffeine train with us by shopping our 30-Day Detox Kit! https://wearerasa.com/products/30-day-caffeine-detox-kit

Photos from Rasa's post 10/04/2023

Your average cup of Joe contains about 95 mg of caffeine, while a cup of Rasa haute chocolate contains about 5 mg of cacao-derived caffeine. 🍫 The difference? Staggering. We included fan-favorite Cacao in our 30-Day Caffeine Detox Kit because the adaptogens and tinge of caffeine allow your body to naturally fill the gap between the caffeine it provides, and what you think you need to conquer your day.

Say bye-bye to caffeine, and hello to a cup of delicious, nourishing chocolate-coated energy 😌🧘☀️ Shop our detox kit today: https://wearerasa.com/products/30-day-caffeine-detox-kit

Caffeine is one of the most widely consumed compounds in the modern world; it has seen us through all-nighters, early mornings, and afternoon slumps. Yet, unless the effects of caffeine on our bodies and mood are prominent, we seldom evaluate our relationship with it.

We invite you to consider how caffeine makes you feel, because if it’s anything less than your best, you may want to take a time out. Detoxing from caffeine can have some serious benefits for your overall health, mood, and ability to human. When you detox with Rasa, you will…

🤗 Begin to utilize your naturally-derived energy

🤗 Support your adrenals in avoiding hormone production spikes

🤗 No longer be dependent on stress-exacerbating (and boring) bean water

Interested in decaffeinating? Join us! Try our 30-Day Caffeine Detox Kit and join a group of motivated individuals who are looking to de-stress and chill their way through spring 🌞🌻

Go Bold or go home. But please don’t go home, we like hanging out with you! While you’re here, let us tell you about the second blend in our 30-Day Caffeine Detox Kit: Bold Rasa.

Bold will make any non-believer evaluate everything they have ever heard about the power of herbs. It's more than one of our most indulgent blends, Bold provides the espresso buzz you want without the caffeine (compared to 95 mg in a cup of coffee).

Bold’s secret sauce includes:

****🍄 Rhodiola to support endurance and stamina

🌱 Schisandra for a boost of energy and improved focus

🌿 Gynostemma to help regulate stress and sustain energy

These powerhouse adaptogens have been traditionally used to enhance performance, fight fatigue, and energize well before the Frappuccino. If they can help traditional cultures utilize and sustain energy, they can certainly help you navigate modern life.

“I’m always on the lookout for ways to make my baths more expensive, and I’m a big fan of using adaptogens in ways that are just not effective or available to the body. And then it dawned on me—FILL A BATHTUB WITH CRÉME DE LA CREAMER. What could be more luxurious than adaptogens literally down the drain? I felt so #%@$ing RICH! And it’s definitely got me thinking about doing an adaptogen skincare line!” - Lopa van der Mersch, CEO & Co-Founder of Rasa

This gush of beauty in your tub features the supremely moisturizing Tremella mushroom and vitality-supporting Amla superfruit. We’ve tapped into the ancient beauty-boosting sorcery that helps detoxify the skin, while giving it that youthful Lopa-like bounce we all crave. So, what are you waiting for?! Soak in the good vibes and beauty benefits of Crème de la Creamer today- it’s the bomb 😉!

Common side effects may include Super Soul Sunday monologue to your cat, skin luminescence, softer skin, absolute joy, and the spontaneous appearance of a unicorn. Luminescence is meant to include, but not limited to sparkling, transparency, and looking five years younger. If you experience these beauty benefits, don’t panic, it’s just your skin thanking you. Happy 😜

Okay, for real though, while you (unfortunately) can’t actually buy a Crème de la Creamer bath bomb from us today, you CAN try our luxurious, vegan, adaptogen-infused, flow-state supporting, moisturizing, succulent Crème de la Creamer. Today only, we're giving you 50% off of this delightful powder. Froth it up, buttercup, and Happy April Fool’s Day!

Timeline photos 30/03/2023

The average American consumes 135 mg of caffeine per day 😱. Yet, instead of helping you utilize natural energy, it’s exacerbating chronic stress which reduces your quality of life over time (low libido, poor sleep, your mood, digestion… the list goes on 🫠).

When you detox from caffeine, you save yourself the withdrawal symptoms while training your body to utilize your natural energy over time. Add adaptogens into the mix, and you begin to optimize your body’s functionality. By the time you see the other side of 30 days, you’re set to human so well, that daily cup of Joe will become a distant memory.

We invite you to reevaluate your relationship with caffeine and consider detoxing with Rasa. Our all-in-one, 30-Day Caffeine Detox Kit includes just the right amounts of our Dirty, Bold, Cacao, and Original blends plus a 350 ml French press (not to mention the support and encouragement of everyone here at Rasa) 😘 Check it out here: https://wearerasa.com/products/30-day-caffeine-detox-kit

Time isn't real, and is just a way of rubbing that in our faces. But instead of getting stressed about the time change, you should have some Rasa!

Dirty puts a pep in your step and helps you stress less with adaptogenic herbs and mushrooms that work with your body to sustain natural energy and ease tension. So no matter when you have to get up, start your day with Rasa, and enjoy calm energy without the crash or jitters from caffeine. 💙

Get to know us!

Rasa combines the best of Ayurvedic, Chinese & Western Herbalism in a delicious coffee alternative that will reinvent your morning ritual.

When it comes to coffee, we get it, and we know that any old substitute just won't cut it. So we developed Rasa with a combination of 12 powerhouse herbs, including 7 adaptogens and 2 mushrooms, that nourish your adrenals rather than taxing them, and give you that dark, earthy brew you're craving. (While also helping you be less of a stress-case & providing smooth, calm energy all darn day.)

How does it taste? In a blind taste test, Rasa was the favorite compared to 5 other coffee alternatives, and was described as: “Dark, Yummy, Rich, Potent, Smooth, Earthy, Herby, Nutty, Healthy, and YAY!”

Since you’re here, we can only assume that you might want to know a little bit more of what we’re about.

First: We believe in a future of energy independence. We believe that it is possible to navigate this fast-paced world fueled by a steady supply of sustainable, regenerative energy that comes from within. We believe that the ultimate form of empowerment is self-reliance, and what’s more self-reliant than owning your energy?

Second: We take our business very seriously. Ourselves? Not so much. It’s important that we do the big things in line with the most stringent standards around organic, sustainability, potency and safety; at the same time, we find that the best way to do all of that is with a freaking sense of humor. Because what good is all this dope energy we’re creating, if we never have any fun with it?

Third: We are committed to doing all of this while staying true to our values and:

Being. Good. Humans.

This means that we will always go above and beyond to offer things that are beautiful and inspiring, sustainable and effective, without being jerks (in any way, shape, or form) to you, each other, the earth, or anything/anyone else. This means packaging, emails, shipping materials, partner products on our site, and anything else you can think of. If it comes from us, it’s on the up-and-up. Guaranteed.
