Inspiration
Das poetische Science-Fiction-Meisterwerk »2001: A Space Odyssey« von Stanley Kubrick stand Pate bei der Kreation unserer ganz besonderen Bio-Gewürztee-Mischung Space Cookie. Der Kinofilm, der wie samova Gründerin Esin 1968 das Licht der Welt erblickte, gilt als kreativer Vorreiter seines Genres. Doch nicht nur mit seinen Spezialeffekten, der ästhetischen Bildsprache und der minimalistischen Erzählweise war das Werk seiner Zeit weit voraus: Auch thematisch traf Kubrick schon damals die wichtigsten Herausforderungen unserer heutigen Zeit.
The story of Space Cookie
After eight years of modern tea culture from samova, the otherwise coffee-driven hot beverage world in Germany discovered the Chai Latte. This was offered in coffee shops as an alternative to coffee and was intended to tie in thematically with the Indian tradition of spiced tea. However, the Western interpretation, usually made from over-sweetened instant powder, was more of a sweet dessert than a wellness drink.SPACE COOKIE
EPISODE I - Rescue from the sugar bomb
"The year is 2010, and the Galactic Republic is rocked by unrest. The over-sugaring of chai latte cups by widespread system restaurateurs is the trigger. Hoping to eliminate the issue by blockading it with powerful coffee shops, the insatiable Trade Federation has halted all transportation to the small planet Earth. While the Republic Congress endlessly debates this disturbing chain of events, the top samova chancellor secretly dispatched Jedi Knight Luke Chaiwalker, guardian of peace and taste, to settle the conflict...."
(loosely based on Star Wars Episode I: "The Dark Threat")
At samova, more and more requests for a good organic chai blend trickled in, until samova founder Esin finally decided to take on the topic of "spice tea without the sugar bomb".: Since she herself does not tolerate caffeine, she omitted the black tea portion and replaced it with 38% cocoa shells. This already gave the organic blend a chocolatey base. The remaining ingredients form a dream team of power spices reminiscent of gingerbread: fennel, ginger, licorice root, anise, cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper and clove. It was this association with pastry that led Esin toward "cookie" when she came up with the name. After an evening at home watching Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece "2001: A Space Odyssey," one of the favorite films in the Rager household, Esin had the brilliant idea: our new aromatic organic spiced tea should be called Space Cookie! This name immediately directs the sense of taste in the delicious cookie direction, lets its supernatural world of pleasure thematically take off directly into outer space and has yet a third, intoxicating interpretation that invites a smile. A samova variety name at its best!
We celebrated the premiere of the Space Cookie spice rocket in October 2010 in our then pop-up store in the Gänsemarktpassage, which we furnished entirely in the look of outer space. The décor was reminiscent of the German cult series "Raumpatrouille - Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion" (Space Patrol - The Fantastic Adventures of the Starship Orion) from 1966: We lined the floor of the temporary tea boutique with silver bubble wrap, spray-painted purple Cookie planets and our space shuttle directly onto the wall, borrowed seating shells in "Men in Black" style and discarded "on-board computers" in bright colors completed the spaced-out look. The crowning glory of this project was of course our freshly baked, crispy Space Cookies, which our friends Florian Pabst and Patrick Gebhardt from the Fillet of Soul restaurant developed and produced for us. At the latest with the smell of the freshly baked cookies we became a crowd puller in the Christmas Gänsemarkt Passage. And so one thing became immediately clear to new discoverers of our galaxy: samova is tea culture from another star!

Inspiration
David Bowie ist nicht nur einer der Helden von samova Master Tea-Jay und Schlagzeuger Stefan Rager, sondern auch der Schöpfer des Songpaten unserer Chai-Gewürztee-Mischung Space Cookie. Bowies Kultsong »Space Oddity« erschien am 4. November 1969, einen Tag nach Stefans sechstem Geburtstag und ein Jahr nach der Premiere von Stanley Kubricks Kinoepos »2001: A Space Odysee«, der samova Gründerin Esin zur Kreation von Space Cookie inspirierte.

Die Anziehungskraft von Haschkeksen belustigte samova Gründerin Esin, die sich selbst gar nichts aus Drogen macht, schon immer. So kam es auch, dass sie ihren Bio-Chai-Tee Space Cookie nach dem berauschenden Gebäck benannte. Schließlich eignet sich dieser ja auch hervorragend als Gewürzmischung zum Cookies- und Brownies-Backen. Leonard, Howard & Raj aus der Kult-Serie »Big Bang Theory« veranschaulichen in diesem Clip, wie man einen interessanten Abend mit Space Cookies haben kann.
