Rasa Mushroom Coffee – Rethinking Energy With Adaptogenic Herbs and Mushrooms
Rasa, a woman-owned Public Benefit Corporation, is revolutionizing our approach to energize with sustainable coffee alternatives that utilize adaptogenic herbs & mushrooms instead of caffeine – creating drinks which nourish rather than tax the nervous system.
No matter if it’s our Original herbal blend or our Cacao variety that you prefer, each cup is packed with high-quality ingredients for an enjoyable experience.
MUDWTR
Mudwtr is an affordable coffee alternative crafted with functional mushrooms and ayurvedic herbs, promising an energy boost without the jitters or crash of traditional coffee. Additionally, its ingredients are carefully sourced with attention paid to quality; and its subscription option makes Mudwtr accessible even to regular customers.
Mudwtr may provide numerous advantages, but it may not suit every palate. Some might find its taste too sweet or creamy while others might dislike its unique profile. Experimentation with different ingredient combinations and flavor enhancements may make a Mudwtr drink more suitable to your specific preferences – you could add in sugar or natural sweeteners for additional sweetness to customize to your own personal preferences.
MUDWTR understands it takes time for anyone transitioning away from coffee, so they make their products as similar to it as possible. Their website copy highlights this similarity between their product and coffee in terms of morning ritual and caffeine content; plus their drink can reduce anxiety, promote restful sleep and boost energy without the jitters or afternoon crashes associated with traditional caffeine intake.
MudWtr offers a selection of blends tailored to specific health goals, such as the Brainchild coffee bag for improved mental clarity and focus. In addition, other blends from MudWtr target immune and digestive health, with instant coffee options now also available for coffee purists looking for similar health benefits as mushroom-infused drinks.
No matter your coffee preferences, MUDWTR products offer something unique to try. Crafted with organic mushrooms, herbs and ayurvedic spices – including small amounts of caffeine for an energy boost – there are four blends to choose from: Cacao, Matcha, Turmeric and Rooibos Chai each offering slightly different tastes while all containing similar organic ingredients and adaptogens.
CACO
Rasa is a Boulder-based woman-owned Public Benefit Corporation offering adaptogenic herb and mushroom-infused coffee alternatives that nourish your nervous system without providing sudden energy spikes and crashes associated with caffeine consumption. Lazy Acres Natural Market in Southern California carries Rasa blends as part of their selection of premium natural and organic products designed to support healthier lifestyles, so check them out!
The Original herbal coffee features a delightful nutty chicory-like taste and is packed with 13 herbs, six adaptogens and two types of mushrooms for mood-boosting, focus-increasing and stress-regulatory benefits. Plus it’s entirely caffeine-free; created using Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps which both have been scientifically proven to combat cortisol production!
For those who enjoy something with more depth and roastiness, there is also the new Cacao Blend flavor. This combination combines Original formula with direct trade (better than fair trade) criollo cacao from Vilcabamba in Ecuador to produce a bold herbal coffee packed with 3100 mg of adaptogens without caffeine!
BLENDS
Rasa Koffee offers a range of blends and flavors that are nutty, herbal and delicious – made with adaptogenic herbs and mushrooms instead of caffeine for maximum brain support and energy without jitters or crashes. Furthermore, these gluten-free, dairy-free vegan coffee alternatives contain no artificial flavorings or colors!
Original herbal blend is nutty and lightly sweet; Cacao blend combines Original with direct trade (better than fair trade!) Criollo cacao from Vilcabamba in Ecuador for direct trade (better than fair trade!). Both offer 3100 mg of adaptogens and very light caffeine content – perfect to introduce students to blends! Best taught after students have an understanding of letters and sounds; using Sound Wall activities helps identify phonemes to learn how they blend together into words.
Rasa’s adaptogenic herb blends are not only great alternatives to caffeine for those wanting to limit their caffeine consumption, but can also provide relief for people with limited working memory. People with limited working memories are prone to forgetting articulating schwas in words ending in stop consonants, leading them down an unintended path that results in confusion and difficulty segmenting words; for example if a student pronounces blue as “b-luh-loo” and trip as “tuh-rip”, this could cause them great difficulty segmenting words; making sure teachers and students do not articulate any unnecessary schwas when teaching blends can prevent this from happening; especially helpful when teaching consonant blends to children with limited phonological working memories!
