Diānhóng sōngzhēn

I-Diānhóng sōngzhēn ingummeli ohloniphekile wochungechunge lwetiye elibomvu laseYunnan, owathola igama lawo ngenxa yamaqabunga etiye amade, aqondile, afana nezinaliti zikaphayini. Leli tiye lithatha indawo ehlukile phakathi kwe-Jīnzhēn (金针) eyenziwe ngezinhlamvu zekhethelo kuphela, ne-Diānhóng gōngfu (滇红工夫) yakudala, linikeza ukulingana okuhle kwekhwalithi nentengo. Ukuba khona kweqabunga elilodwa elisha kanye nohlumela kunikeza inhlanganisela yokunambitheka okugcwele nokucebile, kuyilapho kugcinwa ubuhle nokucoleka.

1. Ukuhlukaniswa Nomsuka:

• Uhlobo: Itiye elibomvu (红茶, hóngchá), elibilisiwe ngokuphelele (izinga le-oxidation ~80–90%). Ngokohlelo lwaseYurophu – itiye elimnyama.
• Isigaba: Amatiye abomvu aseYunnan asezingeni eliphezulu, uhlobo lweqembu le-Diānhóng (滇红, Diānhóng). Liyingxenye yamatiye aqokiwe (名优茶, míngyōu chá), ahlukaniswa ngesimo sokusonta – okwenaliti.
• Umsuka: I-China, isifundazwe saseYunnan (云南省, Yúnnán Shěng). Izifunda eziyinhloko zokukhiqiza ziyefana nendawo yawo wonke ama-Diānhóng: isifunda sase-Fèngqìng (凤庆县, Fèngqìng Xiàn) esifundeni sase-Líncāng (临沧市, Líncāng Shì), i-Bǎoshān (保山, Bǎoshān), i-Pǔ’ěr (普洱, Pǔ’ěr), ne-Xīshuāngbǎnnà (西双版纳, Xīshuāngbǎnnà). Umkhiqizo wase-Fèngqìng uthathwa njengezinga eliphezulu.
• Izixhumanisi zendawo: I-Fèngqìng – cishe 24°35′ N, 99°55′ E. Indawo evamile ye-Diānhóng: phakathi kuka-21° no-29° N, 97° no-106° E.

2. Umlando Nokubaluleka Kwezamasiko:

• Umlando: Umsunguli wawo wonke umkhakha we-Diānhóng unguchwepheshe wobuchwepheshe betiye u-Féng Shàoqiú (冯绍裘, Féng Shàoqiú), owadala itiye elibomvu laseYunnan efektri yase-Fèngqìng ngeminyaka ye-1938–1941 ngesikhathi sempi yokulwa namaJapane kanye nesidingo semali ephuma ngaphandle. I-Diānhóng yasekuqaleni yayiyitiye elibomvu “lomsebenzi” (工夫, gōngfu) elinosontekayo oluyimicu.

  I-Sōngzhēn ingumkhiqizo wokuhlukanisa okwalandela kohlu lwe-Diānhóng, eyavela kanye nezinye izinhlobo “ezigqamile”: i-Jīnzhēn (金针, “izinaliti zegolide”), i-Jīn Luó (金螺, “imisongozelo yegolide”), i-Jīn Yá (金芽, “amahlumela egolide”), i-Jīn Sī (金丝, “izintambo zegolide”). I-Sōngzhēn ivame ukubizwa ngokuthi “umfowabo omncane” we-Jīnzhēn: zombili izinhlobo ziyizinaliti eziqondile, kodwa i-Sōngzhēn isebenzisa izinto ezigcwele kakhudlwana (uhlumela + iqabunga), okuyenza itholakale kalula kuyilapho igcina ikhwalithi ephezulu. Ngokobuchwepheshe, ukudalwa kwesimo senaliti kwaba nokwenzeka ngenxa yokwethulwa kwesigaba sokuqondisa ngomshini (理条, lǐtiáo) kusetshenziswa imishini yokuqondisa ekhethekile.

• Igama:

  • Diān (滇) – igama lasendulo laseYunnan, livela embusweni wase-Diān wenkathi yezizwe ezilwayo.
  • Hóng (红) – “obomvu”, okubonisa uhlobo lwetiye.
  • Sōng (松) – “uphayini.”
  • Zhēn (针) – “inaliti.”
  • Igama eliphelele lihumusha ngokuthi “Izinaliti Zikaphayini Ezibomvu ZaseYunnan” – isithombe samaqabunga etiye amade, aqondile, acijile, afana nezinaliti zikaphayini.

• Ukubaluleka kwezamasiko: I-Sōngzhēn ibaluleke njenge “tiye lokwazana” – indawo enhle yokungena emhlabeni wamatiye abomvu aseYunnan. Ihlanganisa ukubukeka okumangalisayo, ikhwalithi efanele, kanye nentengo enengqondo. Emibuthanweni yetiye yaseYunnan, i-Sōngzhēn ithathwa njengenye ye-Diānhóng yansuku zonke engcono kakhulu, ekwazi ukwembula isimo sesifunda ngaphandle kokufaka imali enkulu. Ngokomlando, i-Diānhóng yadlala indima ebalulekile kwezamasu: phakathi neminyaka yempi yokulwa namaJapane, ukuthunyelwa kwetiye elibomvu laseYunnan ngomngcele waseMyanmar kwanikeza ukungena kwemali yangaphandle emnyangweni wezimali weRiphabhulikhi yaseChina. U-Féng Shàoqiú, owayefike esuka e-Anhui, lapho ayeke wasebenza khona nge-Qímén Hóng Chá, wahlatshwa umxhwele amandla ezinto ezinamacembe amakhulu zaseYunnan – imithwalo yokuqala ye-Diānhóng eyathunyelwa eLondon ngo-1939 yathola ukunconywa okukhulu ezintengisweni zamazwe ngamazwe.

3. Incazelo Yezitshalo Kanye Nezinto Zokusetshenziswa:

• Uhlobo / I-Cultivar: I-Yúnnán Dàyèzhǒng (云南大叶种, Yúnnán Dàyèzhǒng) – iqembu lezinhlobo ezinamacembe amakhulu e- Camellia sinensis var. assamica. Ibonakala ngamacembe amakhulu, anenyama (12–20 cm), okuqukethwe okuphezulu kwe-polyphenol (30–38%) kanye nezinto ezikhishwayo (ngaphezu kuka-40%). Kusetshenziswa nezinhlobo ezikhethiwe ezikhiqizwa nge-clone: i-Fèngqìng No. 7 (凤庆7号), i-Fèngqìng No. 9 (凤庆9号), i-Yúnkàng No. 10 (云抗10号) kanye nezinye, kuye ngesifunda nomkhiqizi. Nge-Sōngzhēn akukho mfuneko eqinile yokuthi kube ne-cultivar ethile; ukukhetha kunqunywa ngumkhiqizi.
• Ukuvuna: Ukuvuna kwasentwasahlobo (Mashi–Ephreli) kunikeza izinto ezisezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu. Ukuvuna kwasehlobo nekwindla nakho kuyasetshenziswa futhi kushibhile ngokuphawulekayo.
• Izinga lokuvuna: Izinga eliyinhloko – uhlumela olulodwa kanye neqabunga elilodwa elisha (一芽一叶, yī yá yī yè). Emabangeni atholakala kalula kuvunyelwe uhlumela olunamacembe amabili (一芽二叶, yī yá èr yè). Amabanga aphezulu kakhulu enziwe ikakhulukazi ngamahlumela wodwa ayenzeka, kodwa empeleni asondele ku-Jīnzhēn.
• Izidingo zezinto zokusetshenziswa: Amahlumela kufanele abe mahle, anwebekayo, angenamonakalo, anoboya obukhule kahle ehlumeleni. Ubude behlumela bungu-2.5–4 cm.

4. I-Terroir Nezici Zokutshala:

• Isifundazwe saseYunnan – indawo eseningizimu-ntshonalanga ye-China, etholakala lapho kuhlangana khona ithafa laseYunnan-Guizhou nezintaba zaseHimalaya. Lesi sifunda sithathwa njengesinye sezindawo zomhlaba lapho kwavela khona isitshalo setiye. Imifula i-Láncāngjiāng (Mekong), i-Nùjiāng (Salween) kanye ne-Yuánjiāng (uMfula Obomvu) inqamula izindawo zezintaba, yakha izindawo ezahlukahlukene zezulu ezincane.
• Ukuphakama okutshalwa kukho: 800–2000 m ngaphezu kogu lolwandle. Nge-Sōngzhēn esezingeni eliphezulu, kukhethwa izingadi ezisezintabeni (1200–1800 m), lapho ukukhula okunensayo kwamahlumela kuholela ekunqwabelaneni kwama-amino acid nezinto ezinuka kamnandi.
• Inhlabathi: Inhlabathi ebomvu ye-laterite kanye nenhlabathi ephuzi ene-acidic (pH 4.5–5.5), enezimbotshana eziningi kanye nongqimba olujulile oluvundile. Inothe nge-organic, i-iron, i-manganese, ne-selenium.
• Isimo sezulu: I-subtropical monsoon enezindawo eziphakeme ezihlukene. Izinga lokushisa lonyaka eliphakathi nendawo lingu-15–22°C. Imvula ingu-1200–1800 mm ngonyaka. Umswakama womoya ungama-75–85%. Inkungu yasekuseni evame ukwenzeka idala umthunzi wemvelo, okhulisa ukwakheka kwama-amino acid (ikakhulukazi i-L-theanine) emacembeni etiye. Umehluko omkhulu wezinga lokushisa phakathi kwemini nobusuku (10–15°C) uyisici esibalulekile esinikela ekwakhekeni kwezinhlanganisela ezinuka kamnandi eqabungeni letiye. Ngasemfuleni i-Láncāngjiāng, lapho kutholakala khona izingadi eziningi zetiye e-Fèngqìng, isimo sezulu esincane esiyingqayizivele sesigodi somfula sinciphisa amakhaza asebusika futhi sinikeze ukukhula okuhle kusukela ngoMashi kuya kuNovemba.

5. Ubuchwepheshe Bokukhiqiza:

Ubuchwepheshe be-Sōngzhēn busekelwe ohlelweni olubomvu lwakudala kanye nokwengezwa kwesigaba sokuqondisa ngomshini ukuze kwakheke isimo esiyinaliti eqondile.

• Ukuvuna (采摘, cǎizhāi): Ukuvuna amahlumela ngesandla ngezikhathi zasekuseni emva kokuphela kwamazolo.
• Ukubuna (萎凋, wěidiāo): Amahlumela avuniwe andlalwa ngongqimba omncane (3–5 cm) kumathali oqalo endaweni enomoya noma ngaphansi kombhede (ukubuna komthunzi). Isikhathi siyimahora ayi-12–18. Inhloso ukwehlisa okuqukethwe umswakama kufinyelele ku-55–65%, ukunikeza iqabunga ukunwebeka kanye nokuqala izinguquko zokuqala zama-biochemical. Kuvela iphunga elijwayelekile “elihlaza-nezithelo” leqabunga elibunile.
• Ukusonta (揉捻, róuniǎn): Izinto ezibuniwe zisontekiswa kumarola noma ngesandla ukuze kubhidlikwe isakhiwo samangqamuzana futhi kukhishwe ijusi yamangqamuzana phezu kweqabunga. Nge-Sōngzhēn, ukusonta kwenziwa ngendlela ebheke ubude, ukuze kwakheke isimo esinde nesicijile.
• Ukuqondisa ngomshini (理条, lǐtiáo): Isigaba esihlukanisa i-Sōngzhēn (ne-Jīnzhēn) ku-Diānhóng gōngfu yendabuko. Amaqabunga etiye asontekile adluliswa emishinini ekhethekile yokuqondisa enezimpawu ezifudumele eziqondisayo futhi zilungise isimo senaliti. Imingcele yokushisa kanye nejubane lokuphakelayo iyahlukahluka kuye ngomswakama wezinto zokusetshenziswa.
• Ukubila (发酵, fājiào): Izinaliti ezibunjiwe zendlalwa ngongqimba oyi-8–12 cm kumathali oqalo asendaweni enezinga lokushisa elingu-22–28°C nomswakama ongu-90–95%. Ukubila kuthatha amahora angu-3–5. Ama-catechin a-oxidized ngama-enzyme abe yi-theaflavin ne-thearubigin; iqabunga lithola umbala obomvu-nsundu futhi lakhe iphunga elimnandi le-malt elijwayelekile. Umphathi ulawula inqubo ngokubuka (ngombala) nangokuzwa (ngephunga).
• Ukomisa (烘干, hōnggān): Izigaba ezimbili: ukomisa kokuqala ku-100–110°C ukumisa ukubila; ukomisa kokugcina ku-80–90°C kuze kube umswakama osele ongu-5–6%.
• Ukuhlunga (分级, fēnjí): Izinaliti eziqediwe zihlungwa ngobude, ukuqonda, okuqukethwe kwe-tips, kanye nokufana. Amaqabunga etiye aphukile, asontekile nezinye izinto ezingafuneki ziyasuswa.

6. Izimpawu Zokunambitheka:

• Ukubukeka kweqabunga elomile: Amaqabunga etiye amade, amancane, aqondile anesimo senaliti anamacembe acijile, afana nezinaliti zikaphayini. Ubude bamaqabunga etiye bungu-2–4 cm. Umbala umnyama onamachashazi agolide nansundu e-tips. Uboya (毫, háo) bumboza kakhulu ingxenye yehlumela. Umuzwa jikelele uwukuhlonipheka nokuzacile, amaqabunga etiye alingana ngosayizi.
• Iphunga leqabunga elomile: Licindezelayo, limnandi, linamathoni agqamile e-malt, uju, izithelo ezomisiwe (i-prune, i-apricot eyomisiwe), ushokoledi. Kunamaphuzu amancane ezimbali namathoni e-gingerbread. Kweminye imithwalo – kunentuthu engaphelele engabonakali.
• Iphunga lokuphuzwayo: Ligqamile, lifudumele, liyasibekela. Ithoni ye-honey-malt igqamile ngamathoni aphansi e-caramel, izithelo ezomisiwe, izimbali kanye nezinongo ezilula. Lapho liphola, kuvela amanothi ezinto ezibhakwayo namantongomane.
• Ukunambitheka: Kugcwele, kucindezelayo, kuyi-velvet. Ubumnandi bemvelo buzwakala kahle, kodwa bunesimo “esinamandla” kakhulu nesesakhiwo uma kuqhathaniswa ne-Jīnzhēn eyenziwe ngamahlumela kuphela – ukuba khona kweqabunga kwengeza ukujula kanye ne-minerality. Amanothi ayinhloko: i-malt, uju, izithelo ezomisiwe, ushokoledi wobisi, i-caramel. Ubumnandi bumnene, buhambisana. Akukho muncu. Ukunambitheka okuhlala emva (回甘, huígān) kude, kunomkhondo omnandi “wesinkwa.”
• Umbala wokuphuzwayo: Kusuka ku-amber-orange kuya kokucebile okubomvu-amber, okusobala nokuhlanzekile. Uma kwenziwe kahle – kunendandatho esobala yegolide (金圈, jīnquān) emaphethelweni enkomishi.
• Phansi kwetiye (iqabunga elenziwe): Amahlumela aphelele, anwebekayo – amahlumela namacembe amasha, aqonde ngemva kokuphuzwa. Umbala ulingana, wekhopha obomvu. Amahlumela agqama ngethoni yegolide. Iqabunga lithambe, linwebekayo.

7. Ukwakheka Kwamakhemikhali:

• Ama-Polyphenol: Okuqukethwe eqabungeni elisha le-cultivar yaseYunnan enamaqabunga amakhulu – 30–38%. Etiyeni eliqediwe, ama-catechin aguqulwe abe yi-theaflavin (0.5–1.5%) kanye ne-thearubigin (8–12%), okunquma umbala, ukunambitheka, kanye nezakhiwo ze-antioxidant.
• Ama-Amino Acid: 2–3% wesisindo esomile. Ingxenye eyinhloko – i-L-theanine, enikeza ubumnandi nomphumela wokuphumula.
• Ama-Alkaloid: I-caffeine – 3–4% (cishe 40–60 mg nge-portion engu-150 ml), i-theobromine, i-theophylline. Okuqukethwe iqabunga kukhuphula kancane ukukhishwa kwe-caffeine uma kuqhathaniswa namatiye enziwe ngamahlumela kuphela.
• Amafutha Abalulekile Nezinhlanganisela Ezinuka Kamnandi: I-Linalool nama-oxide wayo, i-geraniol, i-nerol, i-maltol (amathoni e-malt), i-furfural (amathoni ezinto ezibhakwayo), i-β-ionone (amanothi ezithelo). Okuqukethwe izinto eziguquguqukayo ezinuka kamnandi kuphansi kancane kunakumabanga enziwe ngamahlumela kuphela, kodwa i-palette ibanzi ngenxa yezakhi zeqabunga.
• Amavithamini: C (ngokwengxenye), B₁, B₂, B₆, PP, E, K.
• Amaminerali: I-Potassium, i-magnesium, i-manganese, i-fluoride, i-zinc, i-iron, i-selenium.
• Ama-Polysaccharide nama-Pectin: Ukuba khona kwezicubu zeqabunga kunothisa ukuphuzwayo ngama-polysaccharide ancibilikayo, anikeza ukuminyana okwengeziwe “nomzimba.”

8. Izinzuzo Zezempilo:

• Umphumela Wokuvuselela: I-caffeine ngokubambisana ne-L-theanine inikeza amandla ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka, ithuthukisa ukugxila nokucaca kwengqondo.
• Umphumela Wokufudumeza: Itiye elibomvu lingesinye seziphuzo “ezifudumele” emithini yendabuko yaseChina; lithuthukisa ukujikeleza kwegazi emaphethelweni futhi libaluleke kakhulu ngenkathi yasekwindla nasebusika.
• Ukuvikela Nge-Antioxidant: I-Theaflavin ne-thearubigin inciphisa ama-radical mahhala, inciphisa ukucindezeleka kwe-oxidative.
• Ukusekela Ukugaya: Ama-polyphenol etiye elibomvu akhuthaza ukukhiqizwa kwejusi yesisu futhi athuthukise ukuhamba kwamathumbu. I-Sōngzhēn efudumele kuhle ukuyiphuca ngemva kokudla okunamafutha noma okuningi.
• Umphumela Wokuvikela Inhliziyo: I-Theaflavin isiza ekwehliseni amazinga e-LDL kanye nokuqinisa ukunwebeka kwemithambo.
• Umphumela Wokulwa Namagciwane: Ama-polyphenol etiye elibomvu anomphumela wokulwa namagciwane emlonyeni, okunciphisa ubungozi bokubola kwamazinyo.
• Ukusekela Isistimu Yezinzwa: I-L-theanine ikhuthaza ukukhiqizwa kwamagagasi obuchopho e-α, inikela esimweni sokugxila okuphumuzile futhi inciphise izinga lokucindezeleka.
• Ukusekela I-Metabolism: Ama-polyphenol etiye elibomvu asheshisa izinqubo ze-metabolic, asize ekuhlukaniseni amafutha futhi angaba nomthelela omuhle ekulawuleni isisindo somzimba uma kuphuzwa njalo.

9. Indlela Yokwenza:

• Izinga lokushisa lamanzi: 90–95°C. I-Sōngzhēn ibekezelela amanzi ashisayo kangcono kunama-Diānhóng enziwe ngamahlumela kuphela, ngenxa yokuba khona kweqabunga.
• Inani letiye: 4–5 g ku-150 ml (indlela ye-gōngfu); 3 g ku-200 ml (indlela yaseYurophu).
• Izitsha: I-gàiwǎn (盖碗, gàiwǎn) yobumba – inketho ejwayelekile. I-Ising teapot (紫砂壶, zǐshā hú) yengeza ubumnene. I-teapot yengilazi ivumela ukubuka ukuvuleka “kwezinaliti” ezinde emanzini.
• Inqubo:
  1. Ukufudumeza izitsha: Geza i-gàiwǎn ne-chāhǎi ngamanzi abilayo.
  2. Ukufaka itiye: Beka izinaliti ezomile ku-gàiwǎn efudumele. Hlola iphunga leqabunga elomile.
  3. Ukuwasha (醒茶, xǐngchá): Thela amanzi angu-90°C, wachithe ngemva kwemizuzwana emi-5. Izinaliti zizoqala ukumunca amanzi futhi zilungiselele ukuvuleka.
  4. Ukuthela Kokuqala: I-steep imizuzwana eyi-10–15 (i-gōngfu). Chitha ngokuphelele.
  5. Ukuthela Okulandelayo: Okwesibili – imizuzwana eyi-10; owesithathu kuya kowesi-5 – imizuzwana eyi-15 ngakunye; ngemva kwalokho yengeza ngemizuzwana eyi-10 ngokuthela ngakunye.
  6. Inani lokuthela: Ukuthela oku-5–7. Okokuqala kunikeza ukugqama nobumnandi bezinyosi; okuphakathi – ukugcwala okukhulu; okokugcina – ubumnandi obuthambe bezinkuni.

10. Ukugcinwa:

• Isitsha: Isitsha esivalekayo esingabonisi ukukhanya: ithini, ubumba, noma ibhodlela lobumba elinesivalo esiqinile.
• Izimo: Indawo eyomile, epholile (15–25°C), emnyama, kude namaphunga anamandla. Umswakama ungabi ngaphezu kuka-60%.
• Izitha zetiye: Umswakama, ukukhanya, amaphunga angaphandle, izinga lokushisa eliphezulu.
• Isikhathi sokulondoloza: Izinyanga eziyi-18–24 ngaphansi kwezimo ezifanele. Akudingeki ukuthi ikhiyelwe efrijini. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ukunambitheka kungaba “okulinganayo” futhi kube mnene kakhudlwana, kodwa ukuvuthwa isikhathi eside akuyona inhloso yaleli tiye.

11. Intengo Nokukhwabanisa:

I-Diānhóng sōngzhēn ithatha isigaba sentengo ephakathi phakathi kwamatiye abomvu aseYunnan – ingaphezulu kwe-Gōngfu, kodwa ingaphansi ngokuphawulekayo kwe-Jīnzhēn ne-Jīn Yá eyenziwe ngamahlumela kuphela. Lokhu kwenza i-Sōngzhēn ibe ngeyinye ye-Diānhóng enenzuzo kakhulu ngokulingana “kwekhwalithi / inani.”

Izici ezinomthelela ezindlekweni: inkathi yokuvuna (eyasentwasahlobo – iyabiza), umsuka (i-Fèngqìng – isezingeni eliphezulu), ingxenye ye-tips, ukufana kwezinaliti.

Uzokugwema Kanjani Ukukhwabanisa:

• Ukuthenga kubathengisi abathembekile: Izitolo zetiye ezikhethekile ezinolwazi olusobala ngomsuka.
• Ukuhlola isimo: Izinaliti kufanele ziqonde, zilingane ngobude, zibe ne-tips ezibonakalayo ezisagolide. Amaqabunga etiye asontekile, aphukile, anobukhulu obuhlukahlukene kuyisibonakaliso sebanga eliphansi.
• Ukuqhathanisa ne-Jīnzhēn: Abathengisi abangathembekile bangase bangenise i-Sōngzhēn njenge-Jīnzhēn ebiza kakhulu. Umehluko obalulekile: ku-Jīnzhēn yangempela, amaqabunga etiye asagolide, enziwe ikakhulukazi ngamahlumela; i-Sōngzhēn imnyama-isagolide, inezingxenye ezibonakalayo zeqabunga.
• Ukuhlola iphunga: Iphunga le-honey-malt elijulile, elihlanzekile. Iphunga eliyisicaba, “elifana nephepha” kuyinkomba yetiye elidala noma elomiswe ngokweqile.
• Intengo esolisayo: Intengo ephansi kakhulu (ezingeni le-Gōngfu ethe xaxa) ngenkathi kushiwo isimo se-Sōngzhēn kufanele ikuxwayise.

12. Amaqiniso Athakazelisayo:

• “Umfowabo” we-Jīnzhēn: Embonini yetiye yaseYunnan, i-Sōngzhēn ivame ukubizwa ngokuthi “兄妹茶品” (xiōngmèi chápǐn – “itiye elingumzalwane”) maqondana ne-Jīnzhēn. Womabili amatiye ayizinaliti eziqondile, kodwa i-Sōngzhēn “indala” ngokuya ngezinto zokusetshenziswa (uhlumela + iqabunga) futhi “imncane” ngesimo.
• Isiqalo esingcono kakhulu: Izingcweti eziningi zetiye zincoma ngokuqondile i-Sōngzhēn njengokwazana kokuqala nomhlaba we-Diānhóng: ibiza kakhulu kunamabanga aphezulu, kodwa isivele idlulisa ngokugcwele isimo setiye elibomvu laseYunnan – ukuminyana, ubumnandi, isixha se-honey-malt.
• Ukuhambisana Okubukekayo: Izinaliti ezinde, ezizacile ze-Sōngzhēn, ezivuleka ku-teapot yengilazi, zidala isithombe esikhumbuza ihlathi likaphayini elincane – kusuka lapho inhlangano nehlathi le-coniferous, efakwe egameni.
• Ukuhluka Kwesifunda: I-Sōngzhēn evela ezifundeni ezahlukene zaseYunnan iyahluka ngokuphawulekayo: itiye lase-Fèngqìng libonakala ngomumo wezinyosi ogqamile, elase-Líncāng – ngemibala yezithelo nezimbali, elase-Xīshuāngbǎnnà – ngamandla amakhulu nezinongo.
• Ukungabi khona kwezinga elifanayo: Ngokungafani ne-Qímén Hóng Chá noma i-Zhèngshān Xiǎozhǒng, ngezinhlobo ezikhethekile ze-Diānhóng (i-Sōngzhēn, i-Jīn Luó, i-Jīnzhēn) akukekho izinga likahulumeni elifanayo okwamanje. Umkhiqizi ngamunye utolika ubuchwepheshe ngendlela yakhe, okwenza umthwalo ngamunye uhluke, kodwa kwenza kube nzima ukukhetha kumthengi.
• Izinkathi ezintathu – izimilo ezintathu: I-Sōngzhēn yasentwasahlobo igqame ngobumnandi obukhulu nezimbali ngenxa yokuqukethwe okuphezulu kwama-amino acid ngemva kokuphumula kwasebusika. Eyasehlobo inamandla kakhulu futhi iyabuna, inamanothi ezinongo. Eyasekwindla ithatha indawo ephakathi, ihlanganisa ubumnene nobumnene bezinkuni. Umehluko wentengo phakathi kwezinkathi ungafinyelela izikhathi ezimbili noma ezintathu.

13. Ukuqhathaniswa Namanye Ama-Diānhóng:

• I-Diānhóng Jīnzhēn (滇红金针, Diānhóng Jīnzhēn, “Izinaliti Zegolide”): Isimo senaliti esifanayo, kodwa yenziwa ikakhulukazi ngamahlumela wodwa (单芽). Umbala wamaqabunga etiye usagolide kakhulu. Ukunambitheka kulula, kuncane, kugxile emathoni ezimbali nezinyosi futhi “kungomzimba” omncane. Intengo iphakeme.
• I-Diānhóng Jīn Luó (滇红金螺, Diānhóng Jīn Luó, “Imisongozelo Yegolide”): Ukusonta okuyisiphethu esikhundleni senaliti.
