The history of Star Dust
Stardust or stardust - a term that many people immediately associate with. The youngest look forward to the sandman telling stories night after night before giving them sweet dreams with sparkling stardust. Girls think of magical elves, science fiction lovers think of space adventures, while music fans inevitably think of David Bowie when they hear the word Stardust. And last but not least, stars and starlets use the word "Stardust" as a euphemism for powdered cocaine.In particular, Bowie's eccentric character Ziggy Stardust and the ironic drug allusion served as a source of inspiration for samova founder Esin in 2014 when naming the variety "Star Dust". Because Star Dust is an organic matcha green tea in powder form, which is extracted from the leaves of the tea. Matcha also has a stimulating effect, but entirely without addictiveness and in a gentle way. A name with a wink.
Matcha is tea, but differs in processing and preparation from other varieties. The very aromatic, because fully shaded tea leaves are steamed and dried after plucking, and then the leaf flesh separated from the stem is ground into powder. The fine powder is infused with hot water and whisked with a bamboo whisk until frothy.
Originally and traditionally Matcha is used in the Japanese tea ceremony. But it is precisely the casual and invigorating nature of the preparation, as well as the need for healthy nutrition, that ensured that Matcha was used at some point in luxury drinks, for example as a frothy whipped Matcha Latte with milk, or in dessert, cookie or cereal recipes. The demand for matcha from restaurateurs and private customers grew, so Esin followed the trend and the request of our Communitea. In 2014 came the big bang, to speak a little in the space language of Ziggy Stardust: samova launched an excellent, slightly tart and gently stimulating organic matcha green tea under the name Star Dust. In powder form, of course.
Inspiration
Ziggy Stardust verkündete die Botschaft von Liebe und Frieden, scheiterte aber an seinem ausschweifenden Lebensstil. Um seine Fantasie-Figur mit Weltraumflair darzustellen, färbte sich David Bowie die Haare rot, schminkte sich androgyn und zog sich dekadente Glam-Klamotten an. Ein Meilenstein der Musikgeschichte, der bei der Namensfindung unserer Teesorte Star Dust Pate stand.
