Liù Bǎo Hēi Chá · new.thetea.app

I-Liù Bǎo Chá ingenye yamathiya amnyama (Hēi Chá, 黑茶) anomlando ocebile futhi abaluleke kakhulu emlandweni, isuka ekubeni “itiye labasebenzi” eliphansi yaba “yinto yakudala ephuzwayo” ehlonishwayo. Leli tiye elivutshelwe ngemuva kokukhiqizwa (post-fermented) elivela esifundazweni sase-Guangxi, elinomlando weminyaka eyi-1,500, lidume “ngezinto ezine eziphelele”: ubomvu (红, hóng), ukunethezeka (浓, nóng), ukuvuthwa (陈, chén), nokuthamba (醇, chún) — kanye nephunga lalo eliyingqayizivele le-betel nut (槟榔香, bīnláng xiāng), elingatholakali kunoma yiliphi elinye itiye emhlabeni.

1. Ukuhlukaniswa kanye Nemvelaphi:

Uhlobo: Itiye elimnyama elivutshelwe ngemuva (黑茶, Hēichá). Izinga lokuvutshelwa lijulile futhi liyaqhubeka ngenkathi yokugcinwa (post-fermentation). Ngokwezinga likazwelonke i-GB/T 32719.4-2016, i-Liù Bǎo Chá iyingxenye yesine yezinga le-Hēi Chá.
Isigaba: Amatiye adumile aseShayina. Enye yamatiye adumile angama-24 abhalwe ohlwini lwenkathi ye-Qing. Iwuphawu lwezwe lwe-geographical indication (地理标志产品, dìlǐ biāozhì chǎnpǐn) kusukela ngo-2011. Ubuchwepheshe bokukhiqiza bubhalwe ohlwini lwe-Intangible Cultural Heritage yase-China (2014) futhi njengengxenye ye-“Chinese Traditional Tea-making Techniques” busohlwini lwe-UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage (2022).
Imvelaphi: I-China, i-Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (广西壮族自治区, Guǎngxī Zhuàngzú Zìzhìqū), uMasipala wase-Wuzhou (梧州市, Wúzhōu Shì), i-Cangwu County (苍梧县, Cāngwú Xiàn), i-Liù Bǎo Township (六堡镇, Liù Bǎo Zhèn). Indawo evikelekile yophawu lwezwe ihlanganisa wonke umasipala wase-Wuzhou, kanti indawo enwetshiwe yokukhiqiza ihlanganisa izifunda ezingama-48 kumasipala angu-12 ase-Guangxi, okubalwa i-Nanning, i-Liuzhou ne-Wuzhou.
Izixhumanisi zomhlaba: Cishe 23°50′–24°10′ enyakatho, 110°30′–111°20′ empumalanga (endaweni ewumgogodla yokukhiqiza — i-Liù Bǎo Township, Cangwu County).

2. Umlando kanye Nokubaluleka Kwamasiko:

Umlando: Umlando we-Liù Bǎo Chá ungaphezu kweminyaka eyi-1,500. Ubufakazi bokuqala bokwenziwa kwetiye endaweni yase-Liù Bǎo buhlehlela emuva enkathini yama-Southern and Northern Dynasties (南北朝, Nán Běi Cháo, 420–589 AD). Ngesikhathi samaTang (唐, 618–907) namaSong (宋, 960–1279), itiye elivela e-Liù Bǎo laduma ngaphandle kwesifunda. Ukuchuma kwafika ngozalo lwe-Qing (清, 1644–1912): phakathi nokubusa kwe-Jiaqing (嘉庆, 1796–1820), i-Liù Bǎo Chá yafakwa ohlwini lwamatiye adumile angama-24 ase-China futhi yaba isipho esiya enkantolo yombuso ngenxa yephunga layo eliyingqayizivele le-betel nut. Umbhalo-mlando waseCangwu County (《苍梧县志》) wenkathi ye-Tongzhi (同治, 1862–1874) uthi: “Itiye likhiqizwa ezindaweni eziningi; itiye lase-Liù Bǎo lingcono kakhulu, linambitheka ngokugcwele, futhi alilahlekelwa izakhiwo zalo ngisho nangemva kobusuku.”

Ngo-1897, ngemuva kokusayinwa kwe-“Supplementary Burma Treaty” phakathi kwe-China ne-Great Britain, i-Wuzhou yavulwa njengechweba lokuhweba lamazwe ngamazwe. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, i-Liù Bǎo Chá yahamba nge-“Tea Boat Route” (茶船古道, Cháchuán Gǔdào) — okuyindlela eyingqayizivele yokuhweba yasemanzini — yaya e-Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macau, bese iya e-Southeast Asia: Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia. Umzila wachazwa ngokucacile kumagazini i-“Zhongguo Chaxun” (《中国茶讯》) wango-1951: itiye elisuka e-Hekou village lalithwalwa ngezikebhe liye e-Liebu, bese ngezikejana ezinkulu liye e-Fengkai, ngezitimela eziye e-Guangzhou, bese lithunyelwa ngaphandle.

E-Malaysia, i-Liù Bǎo Chá yaba “yitiye lezimayini” (矿工茶, kuànggōng chá): abasebenzi baseChina ezimayini zikathayela balazisa ngekhono lalo lokumelana nokushisa okukhulu nomswakama wase-tropical, ukubuyisa amandla nokusiza ukugayeka kokudla. Leli tiye laqanjwa ngokuthi “itiye lama-Chinese aphesheya kwezilwandle” (侨销茶, Qiáoxiāo Chá).

Ngemuva kweMpi Yezwe II nasekuqaleni kwe-PRC, ukukhiqizwa kwehla. Ngo-1954 kwasungulwa i-Wuzhou Tea Factory (梧州茶厂), itiye laba yimpahla yokuthengwa kombuso, ukukhiqizwa kwezandla kwathathelwa indawo yikukhiqizwa kwezimboni. Kwakungalesi sikhathi lapha kwethulwa ubuchwepheshe besimanje be-“cold-water wodui” (渥堆) kanye nezinhlelo zokugcina ezindaweni ezingaphansi. Ekhulwini lama-21, ngokuvuselelwa kwentshisekelo nge-Hēi Chá ne-Pu’er, i-Liù Bǎo Chá ibuyile: ngo-2011 yathola isimo se-geographical indication, ngo-2014 isimo se-intangible heritage, kwathi ngo-2022 ubuchwepheshe bayo bafakwa ohlwini lwe-UNESCO.
Igama:
- Liù Bǎo (六堡) — ngokwezwi nezwi lisho “izinqaba eziyisithupha / izinqaba.” Yigama lelali lapho ukukhiqizwa kwaleli tiye kwaqala khona ngokomlando. Uhlamvu 六 (liù) lusho “isithupha,” u-堡 (bǎo) usho “indawo evikelwe, inqaba.”
- Hēi Chá (黑茶) — “itiye elimnyama (elinsundu),” okubonisa isigaba ngokohlelo lwemibala eyisithupha lwamatiye aseChina.
Ukubaluleka kwamasiko: I-Liù Bǎo Chá iwuphawu lwe-Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region nesifanekiso sedolobha lase-Wuzhou. Ibizwa ngokuthi “可以喝的古董” (kěyǐ hē de gǔdǒng) — “into yakudala ephuzwayo,” okugcizelela isici setiye sokuthi sibe ngcono ngokukhula. Itiye lixhumene ngokungenakwehlukaniswa nento eyaziwa ngokuthi “Tea Boat Route” — umzila oyingqayizivele wokuhweba osekelwe emanzini, ofana neTea Horse Road kodwa owenziwe emifuleni yaseNingizimu China. I-Liù Bǎo Chá isalokhu ihlonishwa kakhulu emiphakathini yama-Chinese aphesheya e-Southeast Asia, lapho isaphuzwa njengesiphuzo esivikela esimweni sezulu esinomswakama wetropical.

3. Isichazelo Sezitshalo Nezinto Ezisetshenziswayo:

I-cultivar / Izinhlobo: Izinto eziyinhloko ezisetshenziswayo ngamaqabunga ezinhlobo zendawo zaseCangwu County — Cāngwú Qúntǐ Zhǒng (苍梧群体种), kanye nama-cultivar amaqabunga amakhulu naphakathi aseGuangxi (广西大中叶种, Guǎngxī Dà Zhōng Yè Zhǒng), okubalwa izinhlobo zawo ezikhethiwe. Ubunikazi bezitshalo — Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze. Izitshalo ikakhulukazi zisatshalaliswa ngocansi (ngezimbewu), zakha izihlahla ezincane (乔木, qiáomù) noma izihlahla eziphakathi (小乔木, xiǎo qiáomù) ezinamaqabunga amakhulu noma aphakathi. Iceba leqabunga linde-elliptical, li-lanceolate; umbala weqabunga elivuthiwe nsundu ngokumnyama futhi ucwebezela. Okubaluleke kakhulu yizihlahla ezindala ezineminyaka engaphezu kwe-100 (老树, lǎo shù), ezikhiqiza izinto ezinambitheka ngokujulile nangezigaba eziningi.
Ukuvuna: Ukuvuna kwenziwa kusukela entwasahlobo kuya ekwindla. Ukuvuna kwasentwasahlobo (春茶, chūnchá) kubhekwa njengokubaluleke kakhulu. Ezigabeni zendabuko “zamapulazi” (农家茶, nóngjiā chá), kukhona nokuvuna kwasentwasahlobo okuthiwa “Old Tea Mother” (老茶婆, Lǎo Chá Pó) — amaqabunga aqinile avunwa ngemuva kwenkathi ye-Shuangjiang (霜降, “ukuwa kwesithwathwa,” ngasekupheleni kuka-Okthoba).
Izinga lokuvuna: Izinga elijwayelekile lokuvuna liyihlumela elilodwa namaqabunga amabili noma amathathu (一芽二三叶, yī yá èr sān yè). Ezinhlotsheni eziphakeme — ihlumela elilodwa neqabunga elilodwa noma amabili athambile. Etiyeni “lamapulazi,” izinga liyahlukahluka: “okusanhlamvu kwetiye” (茶谷, chágǔ) — amahlumela athambile; “itiye eliphakathi” (中茶, zhōngchá) — ihlumela elilodwa namaqabunga amathathu noma amane; “itiye elimhlophe kabili” (二白茶, èr báichá) — inhlanganisela yamaqabunga athambile namaqabunga aqinile; “Old Tea Mother” — amaqabunga amadala aqinile.
Izidingo zezinto ezisetshenziswayo: Amaqabunga kufanele abe masha, anempilo, angenakho ukulimala kwemishini nezimpawu zezifo. Izinto ezisetshenziswayo zivunwa ezindaweni ezihlanzekile, ikakhulukazi emasimini asezintabeni endaweni ewumgogodla yokukhiqiza — imizana yaseBuyi (不倚村), Tangping (塘平村), Siliu (四柳村); kuthiwa itiye elingcono kakhulu livela emizaneni yaseGongzhou (恭州村) naseHeishi (黑石村).

4. I-Terroir Nezici Zokutshala:

Umphansi nendawo: Umnyombo wendawo yokukhiqiza — i-Liù Bǎo Township — itholakala enyakatho ye-Tropic of Cancer, endaweni enamagquma nezintaba eziphakeme lapho kuhlangana khona izintaba zaseDalian (大连山) nezaseGuijian (桂江) nenethiwekhi enobuningi yemifula nemifudlana. Indawo inamagquma kakhulu, imbozwe amahlathi ahlala eluhlaza e-subtropical.
Ukuphakama kokutshala: Amasimu ayinhloko aphakeme ngo-300 kuya ku-1,000 m ngaphezu kogu lolwandle. Izinto ezisezingeni eliphakeme kakhulu zivunwa ezindaweni eziphakeme (800–1,400 m).
Inhlabathi: Ikakhulukazi ama-red earth ane-asidi (红壤, hóng rǎng), acebe nge-humus (腐殖质, fǔzhízhì), kanye ne-phosphorus, i-iron namanye amaminerali. I-asidi yenhlabathi (pH 4.5–5.5) ilungele isihlahla setiye futhi isiza ukunqwabelana kwama-polyphenol namaminerali emaqabungeni.
Isimo sezulu: I-subtropical monsoon, eshisayo nenomswakama. Izinga lokushisa lonyaka jikelele lilinganiselwa ku-21°C. Isilinganiso semvula sonyaka singaba ngu-1,500–1,800 mm. Isifunda sibonakala ngomswakama omkhulu kanye nenkungu evamile (终年云雾缭绕, zhōngnián yúnwù liáorào — “unyakanyaka ikhungethwe amafu nenkungu”), okunikeza ukukhanya okuthambile futhi kubambezela ukukhula, kusiza ukunqwabelana kwezinto ezinuka kamnandi nama-amino acid.
Izici ezikhethekile: Inhlanganisela eyingqayizivele yomumo wezintaba, imvula eningi, inkungu, inhlabathi ene-asidi eneminerali kanye nezinto eziphilayo ze-tropical yakha i-terroir engenakuqhathaniswa, evumela ukuthuthukiswa kwe-microflora yendawo — into esemqoka ekukhuleni kwepost-fermentation ye-Liù Bǎo Chá.

5. Ubuchwepheshe Bokukhiqiza:

Ukukhiqizwa kwe-Liù Bǎo Chá kuhlukaniswe izindlela ezimbili ezahluke ngokuphelele, ezibhalwe kumazinga ahlukene.

Ubuchwepheshe bendabuko (传统工艺, chuántǒng gōngyì) — “itiye lamapulazi” (农家茶, nóngjiā chá):

Kulawulwa yizinga lendawo i-DBS45/057-2018 “Liù Bǎo Chá (ubuchwepheshe bendabuko).” Isici esibalulekile ukungabikho kwesigaba se-wodui yamanzi; itiye libiliswa ngokwemvelo ngesikhathi sokugcinwa.

Ukuvuna (采摘, cǎi zhāi): Ukuvuna ngesandla ngokwezinga elivezwe ngenhla.
Ukwendlala / Ukubeka (摊青, tān qīng): Amaqabunga amasha enziwa ungqimba oluncane ezisefeni ze-bamboo noma kumacansi emoyeni ovulekile ukuze kuhwamuke umswakama futhi kuqale ukuxutshwa okuncane.
Ukubulawa kokuluhlaza (杀青, shā qīng): Ukugazinga epanini elikhulu (i-wok) emazingeni okushisa aphansi (低温杀青) ukuze kuvalwe ama-enzyme. Izinga lokugazingwa lithambile kuneletiye eliluhlaza, okugcina umsebenzi othile we-enzyme wokukhula kwakamuva.
Ukusonge (揉捻, róuniǎn): Ukusonga ngesandla noma ngomshini; inhloso enkulu ukwakheka (整形, zhěngxíng) kwesimo seqabunga elisonge. Ukulimala kwezakhiwo zama-cell akujulile kangako.
Ukufaka inqwaba nokumboza (堆闷, duī mèn): Amaqabunga asonge afakwe izinqwaba ezincane ambozwe ngendwangu; kwenzeka ukuguqulwa okuthambile kwe-microbial (ngaphandle kokwengeza amanzi, ngokungafani ne-wodui).
Ukomisa (干燥, gānzào): Ukomisa elangeni, phezu kwamalahle, noma eziko.
Ukuvuthwa kwemvelo (陈化, chénhuà): Itiye lifakwa ezikhasini ze-bamboo noma ezitsheni zezitsha zobumba bese ligcinwa ezindaweni ezinomoya omuhle. I-post-fermentation yenzeka ngokwemvelo, phakathi kwezinyanga, iminyaka, namashumi eminyaka.

Ubuchwepheshe besimanje (现代工艺, xiàndài gōngyì) — “itiye lasembonini” (厂茶, chǎng chá):

Kulawulwa yizinga likazwelonke i-GB/T 32719.4-2016 “Hēi Chá. Ingxenye 4: Liù Bǎo Chá.” Isici esibalulekile isigaba esiyimpoqo se-wodui (渥堆发酵).

Ukuvuna (采摘, cǎi zhāi): Kuyafana nobuchwepheshe bendabuko.
Ukwendlala (摊青, tān qīng): Ukususa umswakama owedlulele.
Ukubulawa kokuluhlaza (杀青, shā qīng): Ukumiswa emazingeni okushisa aphansi.
Ukusonge (揉捻, róuniǎn): Ukwakheka kwesimo esisonge, ukulimala okulinganiselwe kwama-cell.
Ukomisa ukuthola i-máochá (干燥, gānzào): Ukuthola i-semi-finished raw material (毛茶, máochá).
Ukwenza isihlunga nokuhlanganisa (筛选·拼配, shāixuǎn · pīnpèi): Ukuhlukanisa i-máochá ngosayizi, ukususa izinto ezingaqondakali, ukwakha inhlanganisela efunwayo yezinga.
I-Wodui — ukufaka izinqwaba ezimanzi (渥堆, wò duī): Isigaba esiwumnyombo. I-máochá imanziswa ngamanzi abandayo (ubuchwepheshe obuyingqayizivele be-“cold-water wodui,” okuhlukanisa i-Liù Bǎo ne-Shú Pǔ’ěr), ifakwe izinqwaba ezinkulu futhi imbozwe. Ngaphansi komsebenzi wezinto eziphilayo ezincane (ikakhulukazi isikhunta sesikhunta sohlobo lwe-Aspergillus, Eurotium, nokunye) emazingeni okushisa nawokomswakama alawulwayo, kwenzeka ukuguqulwa okujulile kwe-enzyme. Ama-polyphenol etiye aguquleka abe ama-pigments etiye (茶褐素, chá hèsù — ama-theabrownin), ubumuncu nokuhlaba kuyancipha, kuvele ukuthamba okukhethekile nokunethezeka. Inqubo ithatha amasonto ambalwa kuya ezinyangeni ezimbalwa kugudluzwa izinqwaba ngezikhathi ukuze kukhishwe ukushisa (翻堆, fān duī).
Ukubila (汽蒸, qìzhēng): Itiye elilungile liyabiliswa ukuze lithambe futhi lilungiselelwe ukucindezelwa.
Ukucindezela / Ukwakha (压制成型, yāzhì chéngxíng): Itiye elishisayo licindezelwa libe izikhaso ze-bamboo zendabuko (竹篓, zhú lǒu), kanye nangendlela yezitini (砖茶), amakhekhe (饼茶), izidleke (沱茶) nezinye izimo.
Ukuvuthwa / Ukukhula (陈化, chénhuà): Isigaba esibalulekile sokugcina. Itiye liyagcinwa ezimweni ezikhethekile: kuqala ezindlini zokugcina eziyimigede noma ezingaphansi (洞穴, dòngxué) ngomswakama ohambisanayo ongu-75–90% kanye nezinga lokushisa elingu-23–28°C, bese kuthi ezindlini ezomile nezipholile zokugcina. Isikhathi esincane sokugcinwa ngokwezinga sikhona izinsuku eziyi-180 (isigamu sonyaka). Umswakama wetiye ngaphambi kokufakwa ekugcinweni akufanele udlule u-18%. Uma ligcinwa isikhathi eside, linambitheka kakhudlwana futhi lithambile — “越陈越佳” (yuè chén yuè jiā — “indala, ingcono”).

Izici ezikhethekile zobuchwepheshe: Ubuchwepheshe be-“cold-water wodui” (冷水渥堆, lěngshuǐ wò duī) benziwa futhi bethulwa e-Wuzhou Tea Factory cishe ngo-1958 — ngaphambi kobuchwepheshe obufanayo be-Shú Pǔ’ěr (1973). Ngakho-ke, i-Liù Bǎo Chá ingabhekwa njengomanduleli womlando wobuchwepheshe bokubilisa okusheshayo emhlabeni we-Hēi Chá. Esinye isici esiyingqayizivele ukusetshenziswa kwezindlu ezingaphansi ezindala nemigede (茶窖, chá jiào) zokugcina, lapho i-microclimate ezinzile kanye ne-microflora yendawo kwakha isimo sengqayizivele setiye.

6. Izici Zokuzwa Ngezitho Zomzimba:

Isimo seqabunga elomile ngaphandle: Isimo esimisiwe siwumucu osonge (条索, tiáosuǒ), uqinile, uqinile. Umbala umnyama-nsundu (黑褐, hēi hè), ucwebezela ngamafutha. Itiye elicindezelwe liyizikhaso eziqinile, izitini, amakhekhe, noma izidleke. Lapho ligcinwe isikhathi eside, kungavela “izimbali zegolide” (金花, jīnhuā) — amakoloni esikhunta esilusizo u-Eurotium cristatum (冠突散囊菌, guàntū sàn náng jūn), abonakala njengamachashazi amancane aphuzi ngokugqamile.
Iphunga leqabunga elomile: Lijulile, lifudumele, linomhlaba nokhuni, linamanothi okuvuthwa (陈香, chénxiāng). Ezinhlotsheni ezigcinwe isikhathi eside kuvela iphunga elidumile le-betel nut (槟榔香, bīnláng xiāng) — uphawu lwe-Liù Bǎo Chá olungatholakali kunoma yiliphi elinye itiye. Kungaba futhi namaphunga: iphunga lokhuni (木香, mùxiāng), iphunga “lezimbali zegolide” / lesikhunta (菌花香, jūnhuā xiāng), iphunga lokwelapha emathiyeni amadala kakhulu (药香, yào xiāng), kanye namathoni wezinqe zophayini (松烟香, sōngyān xiāng).
Iphunga lengxube: Ihlanzekile, ivuthiwe (纯陈, chún chén). Ubukhulu obufudumele, obumbozayo kakhulu: izithelo ezomile, i-prune, amantongomane, ukhuni oludala, ubulembu behlathi. Etiyeni elin-“izimbali zegolide” kukhona umfitshana wesikhunta. Emathiyeni amadala (iminyaka engama-30–50) iphunga liba mnandi ngokusobala futhi libe selicacile nge-betel note.
Ukunambitheka: Ukunambitheka okugcwele, okunothe, okunzulu (醇厚, chúnhòu), okunamafutha futhi okubushelelezi (甘滑, gān huá), okuvuselelayo (爽口, shuǎng kǒu), okunokunambitheka okuhle emuva kwesikhathi eside futhi okucacile (回甘, huí gān). Etiyeni elivuthiwe kukhona ukunambitheka okuphawulekayo kwe-betel nut (槟榔味, bīnláng wèi). Ubumuncu nokuhlaba kuncishisiwe kakhulu ngenxa yokubiliswa okujulile. Itiye eligcinwe isikhathi eside linomzimba oyindilinga, onosilika, novamile. Amanothi: i-prune, i-walnut, umhlaba, amakhowe, ubumnandi bezithelo ezomile, ukuphola okuncane kwe-mint ekunambithekeni okulandelayo.
Umbala wengxube: Kusukela ku-amber omnyama kuya kobomvu onsundu oshelelayo, ezinhlotsheni ezigcinwe kakhulu — ucishe ube mnyama ngokukhanya okubomvu okukhanyayo. I-transparent, ihlanzekile, ikhanya, icwebezela ngamafutha (红浓明亮, hóng nóng míng liàng).
Indawo yetiye (iqabunga eliphuziwe): Amaqabunga aphelele, aqinile, avulekile ngemuva kokufakwa emanzini abilayo. Umbala usuka kobomvu-nsundu (红褐, hóng hè) kuya konsundu omnyama, ucishe ube mnyama (黑褐, hēi hè). Ukuthungwa kuthambile, kuvamile, ngaphandle kwezimpawu zokubola noma isikhunta.

7. Isakhiwo Samakhemikhali:

Isakhiwo samakhemikhali se-Liù Bǎo Chá sinqunywa ukubiliswa okujulile kwangemuva, lapho izingxenye zokuqala zeqabunga letiye ziguqulwa kakhulu ngaphansi komsebenzi wezinto eziphilayo ezincane.

Ama-Polyphenol: Isamba sama-polyphenol e-Liù Bǎo Chá eselungile sisezingeni eliphansi kakhulu kunase-máochá yokuqala (ukuncipha ngo-12–38% ngesikhathi se-wodui). Ama-catechin (EGCG, ECG, EGC, EC) a-oxidized futhi a-polymerized kakhulu, akhe ama-pigments etiye. Yilolu guquko olubangela ukuthamba kokunambitheka nokujula kombala wengxube.
Ama-Pigments etiye: Iqembu elibalulekile lezinto elakha “izinto ezine eziphelele.” Ama-Theabrownin (茶褐素, chá hèsù) yiwona pigment enkulu (ifinyelela ku-9–10% wesisindo esomile ku-Liù Bǎo yesimanje), enquma umbala obomvu-nsundu wengxube kanye nokuthungwa okunamafutha. Izinga lama-theaflavin (茶黄素, chá huángsù) lilinganiselwa ku-0.09–0.14%, ama-thearubigin (茶红素, chá hóngsù) ku-3.0–5.7%. Isilinganiso salawa ma-pigments sakha iphalethi ekhangayo ye-“red and thick” (红浓).
Ama-Amino acid: Isamba sama-amino acid akhululekile silinganiselwa ku-2.2–2.6% (sincipha ngo-33–48% ngesikhathi se-wodui). I-L-theanine ikhona kodwa ngamanani aphansi kunasemathiyeni aluhlaza. Ingxenye yama-amino acid iguqulelwa kuma-compounds anuka kamnandi, okuhlanganyela ekwakhekeni kwephunga elikhethekile.
Ama-Alkaloid: I-Caffeine (咖啡碱, kāfēi jiǎn) — 2.9–4.3% (iphezulu etiyeni lobuchwepheshe besimanje). I-Theobromine, i-theophylline — ngamanani alandelwayo. Izinga le-caffeine liphakathi uma kuqhathaniswa namatiye akhishwe ngemuva.
Amafutha abalulekile nama-compounds anuka kamnandi: Kutholwe izingxenye ezingama-49 nangaphezulu eziguquguqukayo. Etiyeni elinephunga le-betel nut (槟榔香), kugqama ama-compounds anuka kamnandi: i-α-cedrol (α-雪松醇), i-α-terpineol (α-萜品醇), i-β-linalool (β-芳樟醇), i-trans-nerolidol (反-橙花叔醇), i-β-cedrene (β-雪松烯). Etiyeni elinephunga lokuvuthwa (陈香), kugqama ama-alcohol nama-aldehyde.
Ama-Polysaccharide noshukela: Izinga lama-carbohydrate ancibilika emanzini liphakeme kunase-máochá yokuqala, ngenxa yokuqhekeka kwesitashi ngama-enzyme “ezimbali zegolide.” Isikhunta i-Eurotium cristatum sikhipha i-amylase ne-oxidase, siguqule isitashi sibe ama-monosaccharide — lokhu kukhulisa ubumnandi “nokugcwala” kwetiye.
Amavithamini: C (ngamanani amancane), amaqembu B, E, K.
Amaminerali: I-Potassium, i-magnesium, i-manganese, i-iron, i-fluorine, i-selenium — izinga elibangelwa inhlabathi eneminerali yesifunda, ecebe nge-phosphorus ne-iron.
Izinto eziphilayo ezincane: I-microflora ephilayo iyingxenye ebalulekile yetiye. Izinhlobo eziphambili: Aspergillus niger, Eurotium cristatum, Rhizopus spp. kanti nezinye. Ucwaningo lwe-Hunan Agricultural University lubonise ukuthi umphakathi we-microbial unquma umehluko phakathi kwezinhlobo eziyinhloko zephunga le-Liù Bǎo Chá.

8. Izinzuzo Zezempilo:

Ukukhipha umswakama (祛湿, qūshī): Isici esikhulu sendabuko se-Liù Bǎo Chá, esihlukanisa kahle nokunye amatiye. Yilesi simo esenza wasetshenziswa kakhulu esimweni sezulu se-tropical ye-Southeast Asia nasezindaweni ezinomswakama eNingizimu China. Ngokusho kwemithi yesintu yaseChina, itiye linomoya “ofudumele” (温性茶, wēn xìng chá).
Ukulawula ukugayeka kokudla: Kukhuthaza umsebenzi wamathumbu, kusiza ukugaya ukudla okunamafutha nokusindayo, kudambisa ukuqunjelwa nokusha kwesisu. Izinga lama-enzyme aphula amafutha (脂肪分解酵素) e-Liù Bǎo Chá liphakeme kunakwamanye amatiye amaningi.
Umsebenzi we-antioxidant: Ama-theabrownin e-Liù Bǎo Chá abonisa ikhono elikhulu lokungathathi hlangothi ama-free radical (DPPH, hydroxyl, superoxide) — lokhu kuqinisekiswe ucwaningo lwe-Guangxi University nezinye izikhungo.
Ukwehlisa izinga lama-lipid egazini ne-cholesterol: Kusiza ukwephula ama-triglyceride nokwehlisa i-“bad cholesterol” (LDL). Ucwaningo lubonise ukuthi i-Liù Bǎo Chá inomphumela wokuvikela ovelele kunayo yonke emelana nesifo sesibindi esinamafutha esingenasifo uma iqhathaniswa namanye ama-Hēi Chá.
Ukulawula izinga likashukela egazini: Ucwaningo oluningana lubonisa amandla okunciphisa ushukela.
Ukwehlisa izinga le-uric acid (降尿酸, jiàng niào suān): Kukhulunywa ngakho emithonjeni yesimanje yaseChina njengesinye sezici ezikhethekile ze-Liù Bǎo Chá.
Umsebenzi wokuvikela isibindi: Ukuvikela isibindi emonakalweni ohambisana nokucindezeleka kwe-oxidative kanye nemithwalo yokugaya.
Umsebenzi wokulawula amasosha omzimba: Ukulawula i-microflora yamathumbu nokwandisa ukumelana komzimba jikelele.

9. Ukwenza Itiye:

Izinga lokushisa lamanzi: 95–100°C (amanzi abilayo abukhali). I-Liù Bǎo Chá iyithanda ukushisa, ivuleka ngokugcwele kuphela ezingeni eliphezulu lokushisa.
Inani letiye: 5–7 g ku-100–150 ml wamanzi (indlela ye-Gongfu Cha yokuthulula); 5 g ku-500 ml wamanzi (indlela yokubilisa).
Isitsha: Okuhamba phambili yisitsha setiye sobumba se-Yixing (紫砂壶, zǐshā hú), esigcina kahle ukushisa futhi “sikhumbule” itiye. Kufanele futhi i-gaiwan (盖碗, gàiwǎn) eyenziwe nge-porcelain noma i-ceramic. Okokubilisa — isitsha sengilazi noma se-ceramic.
Inqubo (indlela yokuthulula):
1. Ukufudumeza isitsha (温壶, wēn hú): Geza isitsha setiye noma i-gaiwan ngamanzi abilayo, ufudumeze izindonga.
2. Ukufaka itiye: Faka 5–7 g wetiye elomile.
3. Ukuwasha — ukuthulula kokuqala (洗茶, xǐ chá): Thela amanzi abilayo bese uwakhihiza ngokushesha. Nge-Liù Bǎo, kunconywa ukwenza ukuwasha okungu-1-2 — lokhu kususa izingcosi, “kuvuse” itiye, futhi kulungiselele iqabunga ukuthi livuleke.
4. Ukufakwa kokuqala: Thela amanzi abilayo, yima imizuzwana engu-5-10, thulula ingxube ku-chahai (公道杯, gōngdào bēi), bese uyithululela ezindebeni.
5. Ukuthululwa okulandelayo: Yandisa isikhathi ngemizuzwana engu-5-10 ukuthulula ngakunye. I-Liù Bǎo yekhwalithi ephezulu ingathululeka izikhathi eziyi-7-10 nangaphezulu, ivule izici ezintsha esigabeni ngasinye.
Indlela yokubilisa (煮饮法, zhǔ yǐn fǎ): 5 g yetshana uku-500 ml wamanzi. Yibilisa futhi upheke emlilweni omncane imizuzu engu-5-10. Yiyeke iphole kancane — lapho iphola, ingxube iba nokunamathela namafutha ngokukhethekile (稠滑, chóu huá). Ukubilisa kuyasebenza ikakhulukazi e-Liù Bǎo egcinwe isikhathi eside.

10. Ukugcinwa:

I-Liù Bǎo Chá yitiye elenzelwe ukugcinwa isikhathi eside. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, izici zalo zokuzwa ngezitho zomzimba ziba ngcono ngokuqhubekayo, futhi ngaphansi kwezimo ezifanele, isikhathi sokuphila kwaso cishe asilinganiselwe.

Indawo: Emnyama, eyomile, enomoya omuhle, ngaphandle kwephunga elingaqondakali. Izinga lokushisa elifanele lingu-20–28°C, umswakama ohlobene ngu-60–70%.
Isitsha: Kungcono ukusebenzisa izikhaso ze-bamboo zendabuko (竹篓, zhú lǒu), ezinikeza indawo “ephefumulayo” ukuze kuqhutshekwe ne-post-fermentation. Kuvunyelwe futhi: izitsha zobumba ezingacwebezeliwe noma izitsha zobumba zegugubezi (陶瓮, táo wèng); izikhwama zamaphepha nezikotini ezivela ezintweni zendalo. Akunconywa kakhulu ukupakishwa okuvalekile ngeplastiki, i-foil, noma amathini ensimbi — itiye lidinga ukungena komoya ukuze kuqhutshekwe nezinqubo ze-microbiological.
Umehluko obalulekile etiyeni eliluhlaza: I-Liù Bǎo Chá akufanele igcinwe esiqandisini — izinga lokushisa eliphansi ne-condensation kuyabulala i-microflora nezinqubo ze-post-fermentation.
Izitha zetiye: Umswakama owedlulele (uholela ekukhuleni kwesikhunta esiyingozi); imisebe yelanga eqondile; amaphunga aqinile angaphandle (izipayisi, amakha, izinto zokuhlanza ekhaya); ukuvaleka ngokuphelele.

11. Intengo kanye Nemikhonyovu:

Uhla lwamanani we-Liù Bǎo Chá lubanzi kakhulu — kusukela ezinhlotsheni ezithengekayo zansuku zonke kuya ezintweni eziyivelakancane eziqoqwa ezibiza izinkulungwane zama-dollar ngekhilogremu. Izinto eziphambili ezinquma intengo:

Ubudala / Isikhathi sokugcinwa: Isici esibalulekile. I-Liù Bǎo esencane (iminyaka eyi-1-3) ithengeka kakhulu. Itiye eligcinwe iminyaka eyi-10-20 libiza kakhulu. Izinhlobo ezindala (iminyaka engama-30-50 nangaphezulu) ziyizinto eziqoqwa.
Ikhwalithi yezinto ezisetshenziswayo: Itiye elivela emahlumeleni, emasimini asezintabeni, ezihlahleni ezindala — libiza kakhulu.
Uhlobo lokukhiqiza: Itiye lobuchwepheshe bendabuko (农家茶) elisuka endaweni ewumgogodla yase-Liù Bǎo ngokuvamile libiza kakhulu kunelasefekthri.
Igama lomkhiqizi: Izimpawu zomlando — “Three Cranes” (三鹤牌, Sānhè Pái, Wuzhou Tea Factory), “Zhongcha” (中茶牌, Zhōngchá Pái) — zineenani eliphezulu.
Ubukhona “bezimbali zegolide”: Ikholoni eningi “yezimbali zegolide” ikhulisa inani.

Ungayigwema kanjani imikhonyovu:

Thenga kubathengisi abakhethekile abanedumela eliqinisekisiwe nekhono lokulandelela imvelaphi yetiye. Cela isitifiketi sokuhambisana nezinga (GB/T 32719.4 noma DBS45/057).
Hlola isimo sangaphandle: Iqabunga elomile kufanele lisongwe ngokuqinile, licwebezele ngamafutha, lingenazo izingcosi, izingcezu eziphukile noma izinto ezingaqondakali. Ukuba khona “kwezimbali zegolide” kuvumelekile futhi kubalulekile, kodwa ungakudidanisi nesikhunta esimhlophe noma esimnyama — lesi sakamuva sikhombisa ukuwohloka.
Hlola iphunga: Iphunga lokuvuthwa elihlanzekile, ngaphandle kokunuka okubi, ubumuncu noma amanothi amakhemikhali. Ukunukiswa kokufakelwa kubonakala ngephunga elibukhali, “eli-bland” elingenakho ukujula.
Hlola ingxube: Umbala kufanele ube transparent, ukhanye, ubomvu-nsundu. Ingxube enokudideka, engakhanyi iwuphawu lokwephulwa kobuchwepheshe noma kokugcinwa. Ukunambitheka — kuthambe, kungenabumuncu; etiyeni eligcinwe isikhathi eside — ubushelelezi obugqamile nobumnandi.
Qaphela ikakhulukazi uma uthenga i-Liù Bǎo “ezindala”: Ukukhwabanisa ngamatiye agcinwe isikhathi eside kuyindlela yokukhwabanisa enenzuzo kakhulu. Intengo ephansi kakhulu yetiye “eliyiminyaka engama-30” icishe ibe yinkohliso ngokuqinisekile.
