RASA Original – Adaptogenic Mushroom Coffee Alternative

If you don’t mind the rather high price tag, this herbal coffee by RASA is definitely worth trying. Carefully picked and combined ingredients make one flavorful and healthy cup of mushroom coffee.

The blend consists of 12 herbs, including ashwagandha, chaga, and reishi mushroom powder. Combined together, they have tons of health benefits. These include a boost to your digestive health, immune system, and sleep, as well as the balance of cortisol levels.

There’s no actual coffee involved – instead, it uses chicory. So there’s no actual caffeine involved. But the mushroom extract gives you a nice energy boost that lasts for hours.

As far as taste goes, you can barely notice any difference. This mushroom coffee tastes slightly sweet, nutty, and with a hint of cinnamon.

The herbal flavor profile is great on its own, but can also be mixed with cocoa, for a deeper taste and richer mouthfeel.

Since it’s made of dried herbs, RASA mushroom coffee has a shelf life of over a year. But given it comes in an 8-ounce bag, you’ll probably go through it by that time.

The downside is that, after all, is not real coffee. If you like caffeinated drinks, it’s better to choose another (real) mushroom coffee.
