Xī Guī

Omunye wabameleli abangajwayelekile besithunzi esiphakeme sase-Lincang (临沧), okhula ngokuphansi ngokumangalisayo — i-Xī Guī ihlanganisa ubumnandi obunoshukela waseqhweni nephunga le-orchid kanye ‘namandla etiye’ abonakalayo, okuyinto eyenza ukuthi yaziwe ngomqondo ongekho emthethweni othi «班章 wase-Lincang». Udumo lwalesi sigaba sihambisana nemithambeka eqinile yomfula yamaqulu e-Bangdong (邦东) ngasemfuleni i-Lancang.

1. Ukuhlukaniswa kanye Nemvelaphi:

• Uhlobo: shēng pǔ (生普) — i-pu’er eluhlaza/eluhlaza.
• Isigaba: 普洱茶 (生茶) — i-pu’er yohlobo oluhlaza.
• Imvelaphi: idolobhana lase Xī Guī (昔归), isifunda sase-Linxiang (临翔), umasipala we-Lincang (临沧), amaqulu e-Bangdong (邦东).
• Isimo: elinye ‘lamaparele amancane’ amane ase-Lincang — «临沧四小龙», lapho kanye ne-Xī Guī ngokwesiko kufakwa i-冰岛 (Bing Dao), i-大雪山 (Da Xueshan) ne-忙肺 (Mangfei).
• Uhlobo lomkhiqizo: umkhiqizo wentaba eyodwa/idolobhana elilodwa (单山/单寨); akukho inombolo yeresiphi yefekthri ethile (唛号) — ubunjalo bakhelwe phezu kwemvelaphi yesiqephu esithile, hhayi phezu kwendlela yokuhlanganisa.

2. Umlando kanye Nokubaluleka Kwezamasiko:

• Udumo lwe-Xī Guī luhlotshaniswa nokubaluleka komlando wetiye wamaqulu ase-Bangdong kanye nosebe lwe-Lancang.
• Idolobhana liyingxenye yomugqa we-邦东 (Bangdong) — kanye neyakhelene ne-那罕 (Naha), eyabelana ngobunjalo obufanayo obumnandi nobunezimbali. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, i-Xī Guī yaba yigama elaziwa kakhulu kulo mugqa.
• Ezinhlelweni zesimanje zamadolobhana ase-Lincang, ibekwe njenge-tier S — ileveli ephezulu, ilandela kuphela ukushoda okuphelele kwama-S+ level afana ne-冰岛老寨.
• Umqondo othi «临沧班章» («班章 wase-Lincang») awubonisi ukuhlobana kwempahla eluhlaza, kodwa isimo: njengoba nje i-老班章 iyindlela yamandla e-Xishuangbanna, kanjalo i-Xī Guī e-Lincang yaba yigama elifanayo le-pu’er enamandla, ‘enomfutho’ wentaba eyodwa — kodwa ngobunjalo bayo obuhlukile obusemfuleni, obuphansi.

3. Ukuchazwa Kwezitshalo kanye Nempahla Eluhlaza:

• I-Xī Guī ngokuyinhloko i-gǔshù (古树), izihlahla ezindala.
• Izindlela zokulima zendawo zincike kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi i-藤条茶 (téngtiáo chá) — indlela ‘yomvini’ yokubumba umqhele, lapho amagatsha acwengwa futhi aelulwe iminyaka, kushiywe ‘imivimbo’ emide eguquguqukayo enezinxha zamaqabunga amancane emaphethelweni.
• Lesi siko sihlanganisa i-Xī Guī nezinye izingadi ezidumile zase-Lincang ezakhiwe ngendlela efanayo (isibonelo, i-坝糯 / Bannuo emithambekeni esempumalanga ye-Mengku).
• Ukubunjwa kwe-藤条 kuhlanganisa amandla empilo yesitshalo emahlumelini ambalwa asebenzayo, okwandisa ukugcwala kokuphuzwayo futhi kuthathwa njengesinye sezizathu ‘zamandla etiye’ abonakalayo — 茶气, okuyinto i-Xī Guī eyaziswa ngayo.

4. I-Terroir kanye Nezici Zokutshalwa:

• Isici esiyinhloko se-terroir ye-Xī Guī — ubude bayo obuphansi ngokungavamile be-gǔshù pu’er ehlonishwayo. Uma izingadi eziyisibonelo zase-Mengku noma e-Bangdong zikhuphukela ku-2000 m nangaphezulu, izihlahla ezindala ze-Xī Guī zikhula ethafeni eliwumqansa, elehlela emfuleni i-Lancang (澜沧江, umfula ongenhla we-Mekong).
• Ebhukwini lokubhaliswa kwama-terroir, idolobhana libhalwe njenge-terroir ‘eyivelakancane ephansi yentaba eyodwa’ (低海拔单山) — inhlanganisela, emhlabeni we-pu’er yezihlahla ezindala, ingavamile futhi yona ngokwayo yakha ubunjalo betiye obaziwayo.
• Isimo sezulu esincane esifudumele, esifudunyezwa umfula, emaweni akhula emaweni omfula, inhlabathi enamatshe, kanye nomehluko omkhulu wokushisa osukwini kuze kube sebusuku kunikeza impahla eluhlaza enobuningi obuphezulu ‘namandla etiye’ abonakalayo (茶气), naphezu kokukhula endaweni ephansi.

5. Ubuchwepheshe Bokukhiqiza:

I-Xī Guī ikhiqizwa njenge-生普 (shēng pǔ), i-pu’er eluhlaza/eluhlaza, ngokulandelana kobuchwepheshe obujwayelekile bempahla eluhlaza yase-Yunnan:

• 萎凋 (wěidiāo) — ukubunisa iqabunga elisha;
• 杀青 (shāqīng) — ukugxilisa epanini (wok), okuvimba ukufiphala (oxidation);
• 揉捻 (róuniǎn) — ukusonta;
• 晒青 (shàiqīng) — ukomisa ngelanga, okunikeza umkhiqizo osakuyisisekelo i-máochá (毛茶);
• ukucindezela kube yizicaba noma izitini kanye nokuvuthwa kwemvelo okulandelayo.

Umcimbi oyisihluthulelo we-Xī Guī — isizini esibonakala ngokweqile. Ebhukwini lokubhaliswa kubhalwe ngqo: intwasahlobo ≫ ikwindla (ukuvunwa kwentwasahlobo kungaphezulu kakhulu kwekwikwindla). Iqabunga lentwasahlobo elisuka emithambekeni yomfula linikeza ukugcwala okuphezulu, iphunga elimnandi nobumnandi obuphezulu, kanti impahla yasekwindla ilingeneki kangako. Kumthengi, lokhu kusho ukuthi ubuqiniso nekhwalithi ye-Xī Guī cishe ngaso sonke isikhathi kuxhunywe ekuvuneni kwentwasahlobo.

6. Izimpawu Zokuqonda Ngezitho Zomzimba:

Iphrofayili ye-Xī Guī ebhukwini lokubhaliswa ichazwa kafushane nangokunembile: 冰糖甜 + 兰香 + 茶气明显 — ubumnandi obunoshukela waseqhweni, iphunga le-orchid kanye namandla etiye abonakalayo.

Lokhu kuchaza ukuthini enkomishini:

• 冰糖甜 (bīngtáng tián) — ubumnandi obumsulwa, obucwebile njengoshukela, ngaphandle kokukhwehlela, obunokunambitheka okubuyayo okude (回甘);
• 兰香 (lánxiāng) — iphunga eliphezulu le-orchid, elicolekile nelipholile;
• 茶气 (cháqì) — ‘amandla’ omzimba abonakalayo okuphuzwayo, anamandla ngokungajwayelekile etiyeni elitshalwe endaweni ephansi, — okuyiwona kanye okuveze ukuqhathaniswa ne-班章.

9. Ukwenza Itiye:

Izincomo zokudonsa (ezijwayelekile ku-gǔshù shēng pǔ):

• Imbiza: gàiwǎn (盖碗) noma itiye le-Yixing lomthamo omncane;
• Amanzi: cishe u-95 – 100 °C, athambile;
• Isilinganiso: cishe u-7 – 8 g ku-100 – 110 ml;
• ukufudumeza iqabunga ngokushesha (ukuwasha), bese kuba ukudonsa okufushane ngokukhulisa kancane kancane isikhathi;
• i-Xī Guī ‘idonsa’ ukwenza itiye izikhathi eziningi, iveze inothi le-orchid phakathi nesikhathi kanye nobumnandi obude obunoshukela ekugcineni.

11. Inani kanye Nemikhuba Yokukhwabanisa:

Izinkomba ezimbalwa ezincike ezicini zedolobhana uqobo:

1. Ubude obuphansi, kodwa ukugcwala okuphezulu. Indida ye-Xī Guī — i-terroir yasemfuleni, efudumele, enikeza noma kunjalo ukugcwala okuphuzwayo ‘namandla etiye’ abonakalayo. Itiye elincibilikayo, elinamanzi ngaphandle kwe-茶气 alijwayelekile ku-Xī Guī.
2. Isizini. I-Xī Guī yeqiniso esezingeni eliphezulu iyintwasahlobo. Uma umthengisi engasicacisi isikhathi sokuvuna noma ehlinzeka ngempahla yasekwindla ngenani lentwasahlobo, lokhu kuyisizathu sokuqaphela (intwasahlobo ≫ ikwindla).
3. I-morphology yeqabunga le-藤条. Ukubunjwa ngomvini kunikeza isimo sempahla eluhlaza — amahlumela amade anokuhlala kweqabunga ngokwesixha; i-máochá ikhombisa lobu buchwepheshe bezolimo.
4. Iphrofayili enkomishini. Funisisa ukuxhumana okuthi 冰糖甜 → 兰香 → 茶气. Ukubaba okusamahhadlahhadla ngaphandle kokubuyela kobumnandi noma iphunga lezimbali ‘eliyize’ ngaphandle kwesiqu— akuyona iphrofayili ye-Xī Guī.
5. Ukushoda kanye nenani. I-Xī Guī iyinsimu eyivelakancane yentaba eyodwa yezinga elingu-S; ngokungenzeka, impahla yangempela ayikwazi ukubiza njengenhlanganisela evamile yase-Lincang.

12. Amaqiniso Athakazelisayo:

• I-Xī Guī yisenzakalo esivelakancane lapho itiye liphula khona umqondo ojwayelekile othi ‘ukuphakama okukhulu, kungcono’: ukusuka ethafeni elishubile lomfula lase-Bangdong, liletha amandla nobumsulwa obunoshukela waseqhweni, okwenza usebe lwe-Lancang lube ngenye yezindawo eziqashelwa kakhulu ebalazweni le-pu’er yase-Lincang.
• Ngokwamazinga, i-Xī Guī ichazwa ngezimfuneko ezijwayelekile ze-pu’er eyenziwe ngezimpahla ezisuka e-Yunnan zamaqabunga amakhulu (晒青毛茶 njengesisekelo sempahla eluhlaza) — ngaphandle kwenombolo yeresiphi yefekthri ehlukile, ngoba lokhu kuyidolobhana eliyintaba eyodwa, hhayi inhlanganisela yefekthri.
