Learn More About Lopa van der Mersch:

Lopa is a lifelong health seeker and founder & CEO of Rasa Koffee, the first coffee alternative to offer functional health benefits through adaptogenic herbs. She is also a mother of two children under 3, and credits her ability to do All of The Things in large part to the help of adaptogens, herbs that help your body adapt under stress.

Lopa has lived a storied life. She spent years studying esoteric spiritual practices (& was in two cults!); has had a whole slew of health challenges that have had her seeking alternative therapies from Ayurveda to Functional Medicine to Shamanism for over a decade; and before her life in CPG with Rasa, was dubbed the “Biochar Queen” for her work in stewarding biochar, a biomass-charcoal added to soil to drastically improve soil quality and sequester carbon.

Lopa co-founded Rasa Koffee two years ago, and spent much of that time shoring up the complicated logistics and operations back-end, before fully launching Rasa to a wider audience. Rasa is founded on the belief that by bringing life-giving adaptogenic herbs into your morning beverage ritual, you can actually transform your days; and this effect has been seen time and again as customers relay how Rasa has genuinely changed their lives.

Lopa is also inspired by the 15 Commitments to Conscious Leadership and strives to run Rasa Koffee in alignment with these principles.
