Nánhǎi Hóngchá

Nánhǎi Hóngchá (南海红茶) wuhlobo lwakudala lwetiye elibomvu laseHainan, oluhlobene ngokungenakuhlukaniseka ne-South Sea State Farm (南海农场, Nánhǎi Nóngchǎng) kanye nefemu yetiye enegama elifanayo (南海茶厂, Nánhǎi Cháchǎng) esifundeni sase-Ding’an (定安县, Dìng’ān Xiàn) esifundazweni sase-Hainan (海南省, Hǎinán Shěng). Leli yigama eliyingqophamlando emlandweni wetiye elibomvu elithunyelwa ngaphandle e-China: ngesikhathi esiphezulu, i-South Sea Tea Factory yayingaphakathi kwezinkampani ezinhlanu ezinkulu zetiyi e-China futhi ikhiqiza i-“Nánhǎi CTC Hóng Suì Chá” (南海CTC红碎茶) edumile, eyayidayiswa ezimakethe zase-Yurophu nase-Melika.

1. Ukuhlukaniswa kanye Nomsuka:

• Uhlobo: Itiye elibomvu (红茶, hóngchá) — elibiliswe ngokuphelele (oxidation). Ngokomlando, i-Nánhǎi Hóngchá yayikhiqizwa kakhulu njenge-red crushed tea (红碎茶, hóng suì chá) nge-technology ye-CTC, kanye — ngamanani alinganiselwe — njenge-gōngfū hóngchá (工夫红茶, gōngfū hóngchá).
• Isigaba: Amatiye abomvu ase-Hainan; uphawu lomlando lokuthumela ngaphandle. Esikhathini samanje — umkhiqizo wesifunda ovuselelekayo onezinto zokuvikela uphawu lwe-geographical indication (地理标志, dìlǐ biāozhì).
• Umsuka: I-China, isifundazwe sase-Hainan (海南省, Hǎinán Shěng), isifunda sase-Ding’an (定安县, Dìng’ān Xiàn). I-South Sea State Farm (南海农场, Nánhǎi Nóngchǎng) itholakala engxenyeni esenyakatho-mpumalanga yesiqhingi sase-Hainan, endaweni esezintabeni ezansi, lapho kuguquka khona kusuka emathafeni asogwini kuya emathafeni amaphakathi.
• Izixhumanisi zomhlaba: ≈ 19.7° N, 110.3° E (ngokwesisekelo sendawo ye-South Sea State Farm e-Ding’an).

2. Umlando kanye Nokubaluleka Kwamasiko:

• Umlando: Umlando we-Nánhǎi Hóngchá empeleni uwumlando omfushane wokutshalwa kwetiye ngokwezimboni e-Hainan.

  Ekupheleni kweminyaka yawo-1950, ngesikhathi sohlelo lukahulumeni lokwenza izindawo zokuthumela itiye elibomvu ngaphandle, kwamiswa amapulazi amaningana amakhulu etiye e-Hainan. I-South Sea State Farm (南海农场, Nánhǎi Nóngchǎng) yasungulwa ngo-1958 futhi yaba omunye wabaholi bemboni. Ekuqaleni, emasimini ayo kwatshalwa i-Hainan large-leaf cultivar (海南大叶种, Hǎinán Dàyè Zhǒng) kanye ne-Yunnan large-leaf cultivar (云南大叶种, Yúnnán Dàyè Zhǒng), kugxilwe ekukhiqizeni itiye elibomvu lokuthumela ngaphandle.

  Ngeminyaka yawo-1970, e-South Sea Tea Factory kwaqala ukusetshenziswa i-technology ye-CTC — indlela entsha ngokuphelele e-China yokukhiqiza itiye elibomvu elichotshoziwe. Ngo-1974–1976 kwenziwa amabhejisi okuqala okuhlola, kwathi ngo-1982 ifemu yangenisa isethi ephelele yomshini we-CTC evela kwamanye amazwe, yaba yifemu yokuqala e-China ukusungula ukukhiqiza okukhulu kwe-CTC black tea. Lesi senzakalo saba yingqophamlando emlandweni wemboni yetiye yase-China.

  Ngo-1979, i-Hainan red crushed tea, futhi ikakhulukazi umkhiqizo we-South Sea Factory, wathola udumo lomhlaba jikelele. Ngo-1985, emqhudelwaneni womhlaba wamatiye abomvu e-Great Britain, i-Hainan red crushed tea yathola umklomelo wegolide. Lapho isencokweni yayo ephezulu, ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yawo-1980 kuya ekuqaleni kweminyaka yawo-1990, i-South Sea Tea Factory yayikleliswe endaweni yesihlanu ezweni ngokwamanani okukhiqiza. I-Hainan yonke yayingenye yezindawo ezihamba phambili zokuthumela ngaphandle itiye elibomvu le-People’s Republic of China: umkhiqizo wathunyelwa emazweni angu-18 e-Yurophu, e-Melika naseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia.

  Nokho, kusukela maphakathi nawo-1990 kwaqala ukwehla. Imakethe yomhlaba yamatiye abomvu achotshoziwe yaba nokuncintisana okukhulu (i-Kenya, i-Sri Lanka, ne-Indiya zazikhuphula amanani), kanti imakethe yangaphakathi yase-China yagxila kakhulu etiyeni eliluhlaza. Ngo-1997, ukuthunyelwa ngaphandle kwetiye elichotshoziwe lase-Hainan kwehla kakhulu. I-South Sea Tea Factory, ibhekene nobunzima bokuphatha kanye nokwehla kwesidingo, yanciphisa kancane kancane ukukhiqiza.

  Ngeminyaka yawo-2010 kwaba nokuvuseleleka kwesithakazelo kumatiye abomvu ase-Hainan — kodwa sekusesimweni se-whole-leaf gōngfū hóngchá kusetshenziswa izinto zokwenziwa ezinkulu zamaqabunga, eziqondiswe emakethe yangaphakathi. Ngo-2016, i-Wuzhishan red tea (五指山红茶, Wǔzhǐshān Hóngchá) eseduze yathola isimo sokuvikelwa kwendawo (农产品地理标志), okwakhuthaza ukukhula kwetiye elibomvu kulo lonke elase-Hainan, kuhlanganisa nezindawo zangaphambili ze-South Sea State Farm. I-Nánhǎi Hóngchá njengoba iqondwa namuhla ayiseyona i-CTC crushed tea, kodwa iyi-whole-leaf noma i-tippy red tea, eqhubeka nesiko lesifunda, kodwa ngesimo sekhwalithi esisha.

• Igama: “Nán” (南) — “eningizimu,” “Hǎi” (海) — “ulwandle”: “Ulwandle Oluseningizimu” — igama lomlando le-South China Sea kanye ne-state farm ethile ese-Hainan. “Hóng Chá” (红茶) — “itiye elibomvu.” I-Nánhǎi Hóngchá ngomqondo ongokoqobo — “itiye elibomvu yoLwandle Oluseningizimu.”

• Ukubaluleka kwamasiko: I-Nánhǎi Hóngchá iwuphawu lwesikhathi esedlule sezimboni zokutshalwa kwetiye e-Hainan, inkathi lapho itiye elibomvu elivela esiqhingini “lalinuka kamnandi emhlabeni wonke” (香飘全世界, xiāng piāo quán shìjiè). Ezizukulwaneni zabasebenzi betiye base-Hainan, i-South Sea Factory yayiyindawo yokusebenza neyokuziqhenya. Ukuvuselelwa kwamanje kwalomkhiqizo kuhambisana nesu elibanzi lase-Hainan lokuthuthukisa imboni yetiye ngaphansi kwe-free trade port (自由贸易港, zìyóu màoyì gǎng): itiye elibomvu elenziwe ngezinto ezinkulu zamahlamvu ase-Hainan libekwa njengomkhiqizo womhlaba wonke, okwazi ukuncintisana nezibonelo ezinhle kakhulu zase-Ndiya nase-Ceylon.

3. Incazelo Yezitshalo kanye Nezinto Zokusetshenziswa:

• Uhlobo / Cultivar: Ngokomlando ezindaweni ze-South Sea State Farm kwakusetshenziswa izinhlobo ezimbili eziphambili:

  • I-Yúnnán Dàyè Zhǒng (云南大叶种, Yúnnán Dàyè Zhǒng) — i-large-leaf cultivar ye-Camellia sinensis var. assamica, eyathathwa e-Yunnan. Ibonakala ngamahlumela anamandla, iqabunga elikhulu elinomthamo omkhulu wama-polyphenols, ilungele ukukhiqiza itiye elibomvu.
  • I-Hǎinán Dàyè Zhǒng (海南大叶种, Hǎinán Dàyè Zhǒng) — uhlobo lwase-Hainan lweqabunga elikhulu lwe-assamica, olwamukelwa njengohlobo lwezwe “Huá Chá No. 16” (华茶16号, GSCT16). Ngokocwaningo, iqukethe ama-tea polyphenols acishe abe ngu-35%, i-caffeine icishe ibe ngu-6%, okukubeka njengomthombo wezakhi zofuzo oyigugu. Emabhejini esimanje e-Nánhǎi Hóngchá, kungasetshenziswa futhi izinto ezivela ezihlahleni ezingasagcwali nezakudala, kanye nama-cultivar ase-Fujian (Fúdǐng Dàbái, 福鼎大白; Fúyún No. 6, 福云6号), okwake kwatshalwa e-Hainan ukukhiqiza itiye eliluhlaza, kodwa ezifanele futhi nelibomvu.

• Ukuvuna: Isimo sezulu esishisayo sase-Hainan sihlinzeka ngokotsahla cishe unyaka wonke. Izinkathi eziphambili: intwasahlobo (Februwari–Ephreli), ihlobo (Meyi–Julayi), ikwindla (Agasti–Okthoba), kanye nokuvuna kwasebusika (Novemba–Januwari). Ngokomlando, ukukhiqizwa kwe-CTC kwakusetshenziswa konke ukuvuna kwezinkathi zonyaka; kwi-gōngfū hóngchá yamanje, okuyigugu kakhulu ukuvuna kwentwasahlobo.

• Izinga lokuvuna: Ku-CTC — iqabunga elikhulile ngenkathi eqhathaniswa (ihlumela elilodwa namahlamvu amabili kuya kwamathathu). Kwi-gōngfū hóngchá yamanje — ihlamvu elilodwa neqabunga elilodwa (一芽一叶, yī yá yī yè) noma ihlamvu elilodwa namahlamvu amabili (一芽二叶, yī yá èr yè). Emabhejini anama-tips — ihlamvu elilodwa kuphela (单芽, dān yá).

• Izidingo zezinto zokusetshenziswa: Ku-CTC — iqabunga elikhulu, elisha ngaphandle kweziqu eziqatha, elifanele ukucutshungulwa ngomshini. Kwi-gōngfū hóngchá — amahlumela amnyama anamahlamvu agqamile, ngaphandle kokulimala komshini; izinto ezintsha, eziqinile ezinomsoco omkhulu.

4. I-Terroir kanye Nezici Zokutshala:

• Ukuphakama kokutshala: 50–300 m ngaphezu kogu lolwandle. Indawo ye-South Sea State Farm isezintabeni ezansi lapho kuguquka khona kusuka emathafeni asogwini kuya emathafeni amaphakathi ase-Hainan.

• Isimo sezulu: I-tropical monsoon. Izinga lokushisa lonyaka lingama-23.8°C — elinye lamazinga aphezulu kakhulu phakathi kwezifunda zetiyi e-China. Izinga lemvula lonyaka li-1,900–2,000 mm, kodwa lisatshalaliswa ngokungalingani: ngaphezu kwengxenye yehla phakathi kuka-Agasti no-Okthoba, ubusika kanye nentwasahlobo yokuqala kuthi zome. Umswakama wonyaka ngu-85%. Kuba nenkungu namafu njalo endaweni esezintabeni. Isimo sezulu esishisayo sinikeza ukumila konyaka wonke kwesihlahla setiye — ngaphandle kokuvuna kwentwasahlobo, ihlobo, nekwindla, kungenzeka nokuvuna kwasebusika.

• Inhlabathi: Inhlabathi ebomvu ebomvana ene-laterite (砖红壤, zhuān hóng rǎng), eyakhelwe phezu kwedwala le-basalt (玄武岩, xuánwǔyán). Inhlabathi ijulile, inamathelayo, futhi inomvuzo ophakathi. Umsuka we-basalt unikeza amaminerali amaningi, okuhlanganisa i-iron, i-manganese, i-potassium nezinye izakhi zokulandelela, okunomthelela omuhle ekwakhekeni “kobunjalo” kanye ne-minerality yetiye elibomvu.

• I-Agrotechnique: Ngokomlando i-South Sea State Farm yayenza ukutshala okunamandla kwezitshalo zetiye ngokuvuna ngomshini ukukhiqiza i-CTC. Abakhiqizi besimanje, ababheke kwi-gōngfū hóngchá, bashintshela ezenzweni ezilondoloza: ukuvunwa ngesandla, ukuncishiswa kwamakhemikhali ezolimo, kanye nemanyolo emvelo. Sekukonke, ukutshalwa kwetiye e-Hainan kugudla ekwenzeni imvelo igcineke kanye nokutholwa kwezitifiketi.

5. I-Technology Yokukhiqiza:

Ngokomlando, i-Nánhǎi Hóngchá ngokuyinhloko iyi-CTC red crushed tea. Amabheji esimanje futhi akhiqizwa ngokwe-classic gōngfū hóngchá technology. Zombili izindlela zichazwe ngezansi.

Ifomethi ye-CTC (yomlando):

• Ukubuna (萎凋, wěidiāo): Kufinyeziwe, kuvame ukusebenzisa umoya oshisayo — amahora angu-4–8 ukwehlisa umswakama ukuya ku-65–68%.
• Ukucutshungulwa kwe-CTC (CTC切碎, CTC qiēsuì): Iqabunga lidluliswa phakathi kwezinsimbi ezijikelezayo ezinejubane elihlukile, ezenza imisebenzi emithathu: ukucindezela (Crush), ukuklebhula (Tear), nokusonga (Curl). Isakhiwo samangqamuzana eqabunga sibhujiswa cishe ngokuphelele, okuqinisekisa ukubila okusheshayo nokunamandla.
• Ukubila (发酵, fājiào): Ngenxa yokubhujiswa okukhulu kwamaseli, kuba okusheshayo nokunamandla, amahora angu-1–2 ku-25–30°C. Kwakheka amazinga aphezulu e-theaflavins ne-thearubigins.
• Ukomiswa (干燥, gānzào): Ukomiswa okusheshayo ngokushisa okuphezulu.
• Ukuhlunga (分级, fēnjí): Ngokwama-fractions — kusuka kuma-granules amakhulu (okufana ne-BOP) kuya othulini oluncane (Dust).

Ifomethi ye-gōngfū (yesimanje):

• Ukuvuna (采摘, cǎizhāi): Ukukhetha ngesandla amahlumela amnyama.
• Ukubuna (萎凋, wěidiāo): Okwemvelo, endaweni enomoya omuhle, amahora angu-12–18.
• Ukusonga (揉捻, róuniǎn): Ukusongwa komshini kwendabuko ukubumba iqabunga nokukhipha amaconsi.
• Ukubila (发酵, fājiào): Ku-25–30°C, amahora angu-3–5. Izinto eziqinile zamaqabunga amakhulu ase-Hainan ezinamapholyphenol aphezulu zinikeza iphrofayili egcwele futhi “enobunjalo”.
• Ukomiswa (烘干, hōnggān): Kunezigaba ezimbili: ukomiswa kokuqala ku-105–115°C, ukomiswa kokugcina ku-80–90°C ukukhulisa amanothi e-honey ne-caramel.
• Ukuhlunga (分级, fēnjí): Ngekhwalithi yeqabunga kanye nokuba khona kwama-tips.

6. Izici Zokunambitheka Nokuhogela:

Ifomethi ye-CTC:

• Ukubukeka: Ama-granules amnyama aqinile, alinganayo anokucwebezela okunamafutha.
• Iphunga: Eliphakeme, elibukhali, eliqinile, linamanothi e-malt ne-caramel.
• Ukunambitheka: Okugxilile, okunamandla, okunamandla “qina” (浓强, nóng qiáng) kanye “nobusha” (鲜爽, xiān shuǎng). Kuhle kakhulu ukusetshenziswa nobisi noshukela: lapho kufakwa ubisi, kunikeza umbala obomvana kanye nobumnandi obuthambile, obulinganayo.
• Umbala wokuphisiswa: Obomvu ngokugqamile, ogcwele, onomkhawulo osagolide ocacile (金圈, jīn quān).
• Izinsalela zetiye: Izingcezu ezincane, ezibomvu ngokulinganayo, ngaphandle kwezingxenye ezinkulu.

Ifomethi ye-gōngfū (yesimanje):

• Ukubukeka kwamaqabunga omile: Ukusongeka okuqinile; iqabunga elikhulu, elinamanzi anama-tips asagolide (金毫, jīn háo). Umbala — onsundu ngokumnyama uya komnyama.
• Iphunga lamaqabunga omile: I-honey, enamanothi ezithelo ezomisiwe zasezindaweni ezishisayo, i-longan, ne-caramel emncane. Emabhejini anama-tips — “ubumanzi obusha” obugqamile (鲜爽, xiān shuǎng).
• Iphunga lokuphisiswa: Okufudumele, okumbozayo, okunokuguquguquka okunezingqimba eziningi kusuka ku-honey nesithelo esivuthiwe sasezindaweni ezishisayo kuya kumathoni esinkwa ne-caramel kanye ne-spice encane esisekelweni.
• Ukunambitheka: Okuminyene, okuyindilinga, okunomuzwa “wamafutha” ojwayelekile wezinto eziqinile zamaqabunga amakhulu ase-Hainan. Ubumnandi buhlanzekile, ukuvuthwa kusesilinganisweni futhi kuthambile. Ukunambitheka kokuphindela (回甘, huí gān) kuhlala isikhashana, kufudumeza, kunomsila we-honey.
• Umbala wokuphisiswa: I-amber ebomvu, ekhanyayo, ecwebile, enomkhawulo osagolide ocacile.
• Izinsalela zetiye: Amaqabunga amakhulu, anwebekayo, afakwe umbala ngokulinganayo osagobolondo ukuya konsundu; amahlamvu — asagolide njengokhova.

7. Ukwakheka Kwamakhemikhali:

• Ama-Polyphenols: I-Hainan large-leaf cultivar ingomunye wabaphambili ngokuqukethe ama-polyphenols (kufika ku-35% eqabungeni elisha). Lapho kusetshenziswa i-CTC, ama-polyphenols oxidized ngokuphelele, akhe amazinga aphezulu e-theaflavin (TF, 1.5–2.5%) ne-thearubigin (TR, 12–18%), okuhlinzeka ngombala onamandla kanye “nokuqina” kokuphisiswa. Ku-gōngfū format, i-oxidation ilawulwa kakhulu, futhi ibhalansi ye-TF/TR ithambile.
• Ama-amino acid: I-L-theanine, i-glutamic acid; isamba esiphelele siyi-2–3% wesisindo esomile. Kuletha ubumnene nobumnandi.
• Ama-Alkaloid: I-caffeine — kufika ku-6% eqabungeni elisha (elinye lamazinga aphezulu kakhulu emviweni wase-China), okubangelwa uhlobo lweqabunga elikhulu le-assamica. I-theobromine ne-theophylline — ngamanani amancane.
• Amavithamini: Iqembu B (B₁, B₂), P (rutin). I-Vitamin C — eqabungeni elisha kufika ku-200+ mg/100 g, ihla kakhulu ngemuva kokubiliswa okuphelele.
• Amaminerali: I-potassium, i-magnesium, i-manganese, i-iron, i-zinc. Inhlabathi ye-basalt icebisa itiye ngezakhi zokulandelela.
• Amafutha abalulekile: I-linalool, i-geraniol; imikhiqizo yokusabela kwe-Maillard — i-maltol, i-furanone, ezakha iphrofayili ye-honey-caramel.

8. Izinzuzo Zezempilo:

• Umphumela onamandla wokuvuselela ngenxa yokuqukethwe okuphezulu kwe-caffeine kuhlangene ne-L-theanine — umphumela wokuphaphama ngaphandle kokuvuka okungazelelwe.
• Umsebenzi onamandla we-antioxidant: ama-theaflavin ne-thearubigin etiyeni elibomvu lase-Hainan ngokusuka ezintweni ezinamahlamvu amakhulu angamanye agxilile kakhulu phakathi kwamatiye abomvu ase-China.
• Kulekelela ekugayeni kokudla: izinto ze-tannin nama-polyphenol zikhuthaza ukukhiqizwa kwama-enzyme okugaya ukudla, kusebenza kahle kakhulu ngemuva kokudla okunamafutha.
• Kusekela uhlelo lwenhliziyo nemithambo: ama-flavonoid enza ngcono ukunwebeka kwemithambo.
• Kunomphumela wokufudumeza futhi kusiza ekudambiseni umuzwa wokukhathala.
• Ifomethi ye-CTC lapho kufakwa ubisi iba isiphuzo esithambile, esinezondlo ezingeziwe — umthombo we-calcium kanye namaprotheni.
• Ukugcwala okuphezulu kwamaminerali asuka enhlabathini ye-basalt kungenzeka kucebise ukudla ngezakhi zokulandelela.

9. Ukuphuza:

Ifomethi ye-CTC:

• Izinga lokushisa lamanzi: 100°C (amanzi abilayo).
• Inani letiye: 2–3 g ku-200 ml (i-CTC ikhipha ngokushesha okukhulu).
• Izitsha: I-teapot ye-ceramic noma i-porcelain, inkomishi enesembozo, i-teapot (inhlanganisela yengilazi).
• Inqubo:
  1. Thela itiye esitsheni esifudunyeziwe.
  2. Thela amanzi abilayo, yekela kube yimizuzu engu-3–5.
  3. Itiye le-CTC, ngokuvamile, alenzelwanga ukuphuzwa kaningi — ukuphuza okungu-1–2.
  4. “I-milk tea” (奶茶, nǎichá): phuza itiye liqine kakhulu (4–5 g ku-200 ml, imizuzu engu-5), faka ubisi olushisayo noshukela ngokunambitha kwakho.

Ifomethi ye-gōngfū:

• Izinga lokushisa lamanzi: 90–95°C.
• Inani letiye: 5–6 g ku-100–120 ml.
• Izitsha: I-gaiwan (盖碗, gàiwǎn), i-teapot ye-porcelain, i-teapot ye-Yixing.
• Inqubo:
  1. Fudumeza izitsha ngamanzi ashisayo.
  2. Thela itiye, livumele “liphefumule” imizuzwana engu-15–20.
  3. Ukugeza — ukuchitheka okusheshayo (imizuzwana engu-1–2) uma isongwa okuqinile.
  4. Ukuchitheka kokuqala: imizuzwana engu-8–12.
  5. Ukuchitheka kwesibili kuya kweyona-4: imizuzwana engu-10–15.
  6. Emva kwalokho, yandisa isikhathi ngemizuzwana engu-5–10; ukuchitheka okungu-6–10.

10. Ukugcinwa:

• Isitsha esivaliwe, ukuvikelwa ekukhanyeni, emswakameni nasephungeni elingalungile.
• Okuhle: 15–25°C, umswakama ungekho ngaphezu kwama-60%.
• Itiye le-CTC: kunconywa ukusetshenziswa ezinyangeni eziyi-12 — ngemuva kokuvulwa kwepakethe itiye elichotshoziwe liphulukana ngephunga ngokushesha.
• Ifomethi ye-gōngfū: amabheji amasha angcono ezinyangeni eziyi-12–18 zokuqala; amabheji ekhwalithi ephezulu avela ezintweni ezinamahlamvu amakhulu “ayavuthwa” phakathi neminyaka emi-2–3.

11. Intengo kanye Nokukhwabanisa:

• Intengo: I-CTC yomlando i-Nánhǎi Hóngchá yayiwumkhiqizo omkhulu wokuthumela ngaphandle — isigaba sentengo “ngaphansi kwesilinganiso.” Amabheji esimanje awole-leaf e-Nánhǎi Hóngchá (ifomethi ye-gōngfū) — asuka ku-200 kuya ku-800 yuan nge-500 g kuye ngebanga nezinga lokuvuna. Amabheji anamatiyi kanye ne-gushu — asuka ku-1,000 yuan.

• Indlela yokugwema ukukhwabanisa:

  1. Buza ngomsuka: i-Nánhǎi Hóngchá yoqobo kumele yenziwe ngezinto ezitshalwe endaweni yokuqala ye-South Sea State Farm noma ezindaweni eziseduze zase-Ding’an county.
  2. Hlola iqabunga: izinto ezinamahlamvu amakhulu zase-Hainan zikhulu ngokubonakalayo futhi ziqine ukwedlula amatiye abomvu ase-Fujian noma e-Zhejiang.
  3. Hlola iphunga: elihlanzekile, i-honey-tropical, ngaphandle kokubhukuda nesikhunta.
  4. Hlola ukuphisiswa: umbala ocacile obomvu-amber, umkhawulo osagolide ocacile, ukukhanya.
  5. Qaphela imikhiqizo ebhalwe ngokuthi “Nánhǎi CTC” kodwa epakishwe ngaphandle kokuveza umenzi — ifemu yokuqala ye-CTC iyeka ukusebenza, futhi ngaphansi kwaleli gama kungase kuthengiswe amatiye anemvelaphi ehlukile.

12. Amaqiniso Athakazelisayo:

• I-South Sea Tea Factory yaba ifemu yokuqala e-China ukusungula ukukhiqizwa okukhulu kwe-CTC black tea. Ngo-1982 ifemu yangenisa isethi ephelele yomshini we-CTC (imishini yama-roller, izinsiza zokomisa) okuvule isahluko esisha emlandweni wokutshalwa kwetiye e-China. Ngaphambi kwalokho i-technology ye-CTC yayiyinsiza yase-Ndiya, e-Kenya nase-Sri Lanka kuphela.

• Lapho isencokweni yayo ephezulu ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yawo-1980 kuya ekuqaleni kwawo-1990, i-South Sea State Farm yayingaphakathi kwezinkampani ezinhlanu ezinkulu zetiyi e-China. Umkhiqizo wayo wahlonishwa nge-“Special Prize” (特等奖, tèděng jiǎng) komunye wemincintiswano kazwelonke.

• Ngo-1959, i-Guangdong Foreign Trade Bureau yathumela uhambo e-Hainan, okwaholela ku-“Report on tea survey of Hainan Island” (《海南岛茶叶调查报告》). Umbiko waphawula ukuthi i-Hainan large-leaf cultivar “isezingeni elifana namatiye adumile omhlaba wonke ase-Ndiya nase-Ceylon” — kungenye yezikhathi zokuqala lapho itiye elibomvu lase-China labekwa ezingeni elifanayo nezinkunzi zaseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia.

• I-Hainan iyisifundazwe setiye esiseningizimu kakhulu e-China (ububanzi buka-18–20°N), futhi i-Nánhǎi Hóngchá ingelinye lamatiye abomvu “asendaweni eshisayo” kakhulu emhlabeni. Izihlahla zetiye lapha zimila izinyanga zonke ezingu-12 ngonyaka — ngisho nasebusika ukuvuna akuyeki.

• Igama “Nánhǎi” (南海, “Ulwandle Oluseningizimu”) lihlobanisa leli tiye nomlando omkhulu wasolwandle: uLwandle lwaseNingizimu ne-China lungomunye wemizila yokuhweba emidala kakhulu, okwadluliswa ngayo itiye amakhulu eminyaka liya eNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia kuqhubeke nokudlulela e-Yurophu. Kuphawuleka ukuthi itiye elibomvu, elakhiqizwa ogwini lwalolu lwandle, uqobo lwaba ngumkhiqizo wokuthunyelwa ngaphandle, owenze uhambo oluphambene — kusuka e-Hainan kuya e-London naseNew York.

13. Ukuqhathanisa namanye amatiye abomvu:

• I-Báishā Hóngchá (白沙红茶, Báishā Hóngchá): “Umakhelwane” oseduze kakhulu ovela e-Hainan ngokufanayo, kodwa ovela kwesinye isifunda (i-Baisha) futhi ene-terroir ehlukile (i-meteorite crater). I-Báishā Hóngchá i-“exotic” kakhulu ngephemfayili yayo yamaminerali. I-Nánhǎi Hóngchá iyitiye elibomvu eli-“classic” elishisayo, elaliqondiswe kakhulu ekuthumeleni ngaphandle.

• I-Wǔzhǐshān Hóngchá (五指山红茶, Wǔzhǐshān Hóngchá): Itiye elibomvu lase-Hainan elisezintabeni eziphakeme (kufika ku-1,000+ m) elenziwe ngohlobo olufanayo lwe-Hǎinán Dà Yè. Libhekwa “njengegugu” lamatiye abomvu ase-Hainan ngenxa ye-terroir enezintaba. I-Nánhǎi Hóngchá isezintabeni ezansi, enephemfayili yesimo sezulu ehlukile.

• I-Diān Hóng (滇红, Diān Hóng): Itiye elibomvu lase-Yunnan elivela ku-var. assamica — elisondele kakhulu ngokohlobo lwezinto. I-Diān Hóng yona “yome” kakhulu futhi “inopelepele” kakhulu; i-Nánhǎi Hóngchá yona “inamswakama” kakhulu, ishisayo, inamanothi agqamile e-longan ne-caramel.

• I-Assam CTC: Isibonelo somhlaba esisondele kakhulu se-CTC version ye-Nánhǎi Hóngchá. Zombili zikhiqizwa nge-var. assamica, zombili zenzelwe ukuthunyelwa ngaphandle nokusetshenziswa nobisi. I-Assam CTC inamandla kakhulu “ngokuqina” nange-“maltiness”; i-Hainan ithambile, inobumnandi basendaweni eshisayo.

Ekuphetheni:

I-Nánhǎi Hóngchá iyitiye elibomvu elinesiphetho esigqamile, esidabukisayo. Yaveliswa ogwini loLwandle lwaseNingizimu ne-China ngesikhathi sokuguguleka kwezimboni ngawo-1950 kuya ko-1980, yabhekana nokwanda, ukuqashelwa emhlabeni wonke nokukhohlakala — futhi manje ithola impilo entsha ngesimo se-whole-leaf gōngfū hóngchá. Izinto ezinamandla zamaqabunga amakhulu ohlobo lwe-assamica, i-terroir eshisayo, inhlabathi ye-basalt, kanye nokumila unyaka wonke kunikeza leli tiye ukunambitheka okuwugqinsi lwe-honey-caramel, ukuthungwa okunamafutha, kanye nokunambitheka kokuphindela okufudumezayo. I-Nánhǎi Hóngchá iyitiye-umlando, itiye-isifanekiso: isikhumbuzo sokuthi emaphethelweni aseningizimu kakhulu e-China, esiqhingini esishisayo, kumila itiye elibomvu, elikwazi ukuncintisana nezibonelo ezingcono kakhulu zase-Assam nase-Ceylon.
