Rasa Bold Dark Roast Coffee Alternative, Caffeine Free, French Press, 8 oz

Love this product!

Purchased on recommendation by a friend for the non-caffeine alertness after drinking this Rasa product. He was right — it works. I enjoy the bold earthy flavor. I simply put a tablespoon in a teapot with a built in strainer, add a cup of boiling water, and let it steep for 5 minutes. A package lasts a long time, worth the price.

I quit coffee cold turkey when this arrived. I drink a cup a day in the morning, sometimes brew it twice using the same tablespoon of product. It’s been less than 3 weeks. Im on the last cup. The bag didnt even last me a month which is crazy considering the price. It says energy boosting but i don’t feel ANY energy boost at all. The only good thing about it is the taste has the same earthy flavor as coffee which has been comforting in the morning since i quit my beloved coffee (i hated the crash and anxiety that came with coffee). I’ll be looking for another drink. If it wasnt so expensive, id stick with it for the taste.

When I opened the bag I was surprised the grounds smelled lightly of cocoaand kinda like coffee. There's is a bit of Cacao but doesn't say how much - no coffee.Thinking this wouldn't have a hefty amount of flavor - I slightly rounded the tablespoonand let it seep in 8oz boiling water for 20 minutes (instead of the suggested 10-15)I was wrong that the flavor wouldn't be very bold = indeed it is..I usually add creamer to my coffee but found this fairly tasty = drank it plain..It doesn't taste much like coffee - nor mushrooms = but is sorta an herbal flavor.It's not the best tasting - there's no sweetness = BUT it's totally healthy.You gotta wait 10-15 minutes while the 'coffee' steeps in you're French cupbut I like the energizing benefits.The 8 oz bag is 30 servings = for the current $52.00It's pricey but gives feeling of well being - energy boost and loaded with quality nutrition.

Love the taste but it’s pricey so I mix it with the original formula and another chicory product. I’ve also added a mushroom blend really trust.

This is my favorite coffee alternative- and I've tried a lot. Don’t expect a direct coffee replacement, but expect that same rich, slightly bitter, warming kinda vibe. Trick is to let it brew 15 mins in an insulated mug. When I’ve been drinking this a few days, I feel so good - calm and focused and energized. Only negative is that this flavor seems to be pricier than the rest - perhaps due to the mushrooms?

Let me start by saying that I am NOT a coffee drinker, never have been, never will be. That being said, I've been drinking the Original Rasa at the recommendation of my acupuncturist for about two months. I noticed with this BOLD variety that the amount of adaptogens is about 3x greater than in the original version. I expected to be the energizer bunny. Not so. I expected the taste of the BOLD to be a lot more intense. Not so. I'm not sure.... I really don't notice a difference in my energy levels or overall wellbeing between the Original and the Bold, so I'll probably just stick with the original, as it's about $20.00 cheaper than the bold. I prepare it the same, it tastes the same, I feel the same.

I have been purchasing the Cacao flavor which is just ok. None of the coffee alternatives have truly been a replacement for coffee. So understanding that, I made the switch to be healthier and went with the cacao as I've read cacao is similar in the bold flavor. I didn't feel the cacao was strong enough, so I opted for this one called Bold. It tasted extremely similar to cacao but way more expensive. This one definitely had more of a mushroom flavor (because of the adaptogens of course) but I could not get over the umami flavor in my coffee. I will continue to drink this until the bag is gone for the health benefits, but I won't be purchasing in the future. I might go back to Rasa Cacao but will continue my quest for other coffee alternatives.
