Rasāsvāda's ingredients are hand-gathered from pristine, remote regions around the world. By selecting wild-harvested plants, we ensure that the ingredients are grown in their natural environment, resulting in higher potency and purity. These untamed herbs, mushrooms, and spices carry ancient traditions and are revered for their powerful properties.

Rasāsvāda is the only non-alcoholic spirit tested by longevity scientists. In recent studies with world-leading researchers at Ora Biomedical, Rasāsvāda restorative spirits increased the median lifespan of C. elegans—tiny, microscopic organisms commonly used in aging research—by up to 32%. This remarkable discovery aligns with our mission to craft beverages that nourish the body and mind.

Why test on C. elegans?

These organisms are commonly used in longevity research because their genetic and cellular processes closely resemble those of humans. With a natural lifespan of just 20 days, scientists can quickly assess potential longevity benefits. While much more testing is needed to understand the impact on humans, this is an exciting first step in the quest to identify natural compounds that could impact human health span.

Free from added sugars, preservatives, colorings, and artificial flavorings, Rasāsvāda offers a flavor profile deeply rooted in Eastern medicine and traditional Chinese herbal practices.

Black Ginger:

Bold, bittersweet, and deeply layered—Black Ginger combines earthy bitterness, warming spice, and roasted chicory with a rich, toasty depth reminiscent of dark coffee.

Ruby Artemisia:

Bright, tart, and slightly sweet—Ruby Artemisia blends antioxidant-rich maqui berries, tannic red wine grape skins, and earthy Yunnan Pu’er tea with bittersweet artemisia.

Rose Bergamot:

Love it or hate it—floral, rare citrus, and bitter, Rose Bergamot blends smoky floral undertones, lemongrass, and rose with herbaceous depth, soft tannins, and a dry, lingering finish.

Unopened, Rasāsvāda Rose Bergamot and Ruby Artemisia have a shelf life of 36 months from when they’re produced, while Black Ginger has a shelf life of 24 months. Since they contain no preservatives, all spirit restoratives must be refrigerated after opening. Once opened, the drink will stay fresh for 9 months refrigerated.

No, Rasāsvāda is made purely from 100% plants with nothing else added. It contains no artificial flavors, sweeteners, additives, or preservatives.

No. There is no alcohol in any of our drinks.

Rose Bergamot and Black Ginger, do not contain any caffeine. 

Ruby Artemisia does contain 26mg of caffeine per 2 oz serving - about the same as 2oz of drip coffee or a cup of regular tea. For context, a 2oz espresso has 128mg of caffeine. The caffeine is derived from the Pu’er and kurikoji green tea present in the decoction. 

Everyone’s experience with Rasāsvāda is unique. Our drinks are designed to give your body a sense of balance and well-being. Many people describe feeling uplifted, calm, or energized—depending on what their body needs. However, they are not designed to provide a buzz like alcohol or psychoactive ingredients.

As with all herbs, if you are pregnant, on medication, or have any concerns you should discuss with your medical professional before consuming Rasāsvāda.

While not all of our ingredients are certified organic, we are committed to sourcing the highest-quality botanicals through our trusted partners at Rishi Tea & Botanicals.

Many of the small farmers we work with across the world follow sustainable, elevated agricultural practices but may not have the means to obtain costly organic certifications. Instead, we focus on ethical sourcing, building long-term relationships with farmers who cultivate ingredients with care and integrity.

Additionally, many of our botanicals are wild-harvested—meaning they are gathered directly from their natural habitats rather than being farmed or cultivated. These plants grow in untouched environments, free from pesticides and artificial fertilizers, absorbing nutrients directly from the soil and ecosystem. This often results in a more potent and nutrient-rich ingredient compared to farmed alternatives.

At Rasāsvāda, we carefully select the best micro-lots of wild-harvested herbs, adaptogens, and mushrooms, ensuring that each ingredient is at its peak potency and medicinal value. By sourcing from nature’s most pristine environments, we honor time-honored traditions of natural healing—delivering ingredients that support vitality and wellness, just as nature intended.
