Rasa Organic Cacao Tea 8oz.
Our signature adaptogenic formula blended with direct-trade cacao beans for a mood-boosting, luxurious treat.
An indulgent treat you can say yes to... every day (Seriously. We guzzle it here at the Rasa Casa!), 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! 🙌
We tested dozens of cacao beans to find the perfect beans to complement the signature Rasa formula and also meet our stringent standards for sustainability and ethics. Our Ecuadorian criollo 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.
Our cacao is sourced direct-trade, which offers a closer relationship with our suppliers and affords them better than fair-trade pricing.

1. Adaptogens
We believe adaptogens are Nature’s antidote to the stressors of modern life. It’s no wonder they’re trending—adaptogens are exactly what most of us need! We’re committed to sharing these incredible herbs with the world in the most accessible way possible.
Adaptogens are Nature’s antidote to stress. These herbs live in harsh conditions around the world, meaning they have not only learned how to be resilient in the face of stress but these badass mofos actually thrive in stressful environments.
To be characterized as as adaptogen, an herb must meet these 3 criteria:
-
It must be safe in normal therapeutic doses
-
It must help your body holistically resist a wide variety of stressors
-
It must have a normalizing effect on overall body function, helping your body to
maintain homeostasis.
2. Energizing from within
We believe in energizing from within, and to do that we are disrupting one of the world's favorite pastimes by making our relationship to coffee a little less dependent and a little more nourishing. We love coffee, but it can actually be quite draining. With the right additions and substitutions, this time-honored ritual will be majorly upgraded in your life.
Adaptogens help you to freak out slower (& less intensely!), and recover faster in response to stress... all while increasing stress resilience overall. These amazing superherbs work through both your hormonal and nervous systems to help your body cope with stress more effectively. This "multiple-pathway action" is known as "network pharmacology", and is the opposite of pharmaceutical drugs, which are "one drug, one action".
This is why we have a goal to get more adaptogens into more people by adding them to their go-to stress relievers. They help take it one step further, from just stress relief to true nourishment.
3. Sustainability
We operate every aspect of our business in the most sustainable, honest, transparent, conscious, high-integrity way we can. We want to do well by you, our planet, the herbs we use, the workers who harvest them, and each other. That's what it's all about, isn't it?
