On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the fabulous Lopa van der Mersch. Lopa is the Founder & CEO of Rasa, an adaptogenic coffee alternative company. We talk about Lopa’s search for enlightenment since she was young, some of the many experiences she’s had in pursuit of enlightenment, how she balances ego while being the face of a brand, why she believes in the Ayurvedic philosophy around food, her experience being in a cult in Bali, how Rasa was born out of the most stressful time in her life, her take on the healthfulness of coffee, how Rasa is different than coffee and why it might be better for you, why everything about Rasa revolves around being a good person, why trying to find your passion can be misleading, her advice for leading a healthier and more fulfilled life, and why just because something is popular doesn’t mean it’s healthy.
