Yín Jùn Méi

Yín Jùn Méi (银骏眉, yín jùn méi) — “isiliva” igreyidi ochungechungeni oludumile lwe-Jùn Méi (骏眉), ebambe indawo phakathi kwe-Jīn Jùn Méi (银骏眉, jīn jùn méi) eyinganekwane (amahlumela kuphela) kanye ne-Tóng Jùn Méi / Chìgān (赤甘, chìgān) efinyeleleka kalula (ihlumela elilodwa elinamahlamvu amabili). Iqoqwe ngokwezinga elithi “ihlumela elilodwa — iqabunga elilodwa” elivela ezihlahleni zetiye zasendle zendawo yesiqiwu i-Tóngmù (桐木村), leli tiye lihlanganisa ubumsulwa bempahla eyizinhlumela nokwakheka okuthe xaxa nokuminyana okunikezwa iqabunga lokuqala elithambile. Kubathandi abaningi, i-Yín Jùn Méi iyibhalansi enhle phakathi kobuhle nokufinyeleleka ngaphakathi kochungechunge.

1. Ukuhlukaniswa kanye Nomsuka:

• Uhlobo: Itiye elibomvu (红茶, hóngchá), eline-oxidized ngokuphelele. Ngokwesigaba saseYurophu — itiye elimnyama. Izinga lokuvutshelwa — 80–90%.
• Isigaba: Itiye elibomvu elisezingeni eliphezulu lochungechunge lwe-”Jùn Méi” (骏眉), igreyidi yesibili ngemuva kwe-Jīn Jùn Méi. Luhlobo lwe-Zhèng Shān Xiǎo Zhǒng (正山小种) olusha — olungabhenywa.
• Umvelaphi: I-China, isifundazwe sase-Fújiàn (福建省, Fújiàn Shěng), isifunda sase-Nánpíng (南平市, Nánpíng Shì), idolobha elililungelo lesifunda i-Wǔyíshān (武夷山市, Wǔyíshān Shì), umzana wase-Tóngmù (桐木村, Tóngmù Cūn) osendaweni yesiqiwu sezemvelo sikaZwelonke sase-Wǔyíshān (武夷山国家级自然保护区, ububanzi — 565 km²). I-Tóngmù iyindawo yomlando yalo lonke itiye elibomvu, lapho eminyakeni engaphezu kuka-400 edlule kwasungulwa khona i-Zhèng Shān Xiǎo Zhǒng (Lapsang Souchong).
• Izixhumanisi zendawo: cishe 27°44′ N, 117°38′ E.
• Indawo ochungechungeni lwe-”Jùn Méi”: Uchungechunge luhlanganisa amagreyidi amathathu, ahlukile ngokwezinga lokuqoqa: Jīn Jùn Méi (金骏眉, “Amashiye Egolide”) — amahlumela kuphela (单芽); Yín Jùn Méi (银骏眉, “Amashiye Esiliva”) — ihlumela elilodwa elineqabunga elilodwa (一芽一叶); Tóng Jùn Méi (铜骏眉, “Amashiye Ethusi”), owaziwa nangokuthi Chìgān (赤甘) — ihlumela elilodwa elinamahlamvu amabili (一芽二叶), wehlukaniswa ube yi-Xiǎo Chìgān (小赤甘, amaqabunga angavumbukile) ne-Dà Chìgān (大赤甘, amaqabunga avulekile).

2. Umlando kanye Nokubaluleka Kwamasiko:

• Umlando: I-Yín Jùn Méi yavela ngesikhathi esifanayo ne-Jīn Jùn Méi ngo-2005, lapho ithimba lezingcweti ngaphansi kobuholi buka-Jiāng Yuánxūn (江元勋) no-Liáng Jùndé (梁骏德) benza uhlelo lwamagreyidi ochungechunge lwe-Jùn Méi. Ngokobufakazi babahlanganyeli, ngemuva kweqoqo lokuqala eliphumelelayo letiye elenziwe ngamahlumela ahlanzekile, izingcweti zazama ukukhiqiza itiye elivela eku- “ihlumela elilodwa — iqabunga elilodwa”, futhi ngaleso sikhathi kwaqala ukwakheka isigaba samazinga amathathu “igolide — isiliva — ithusi” ngokwezinga lokuqoqa. Ubuchwepheshe bokukhiqiza nokuthengiswa kwe-Yín Jùn Méi kuhambisane ne-Jīn Jùn Méi: ukuzinza ngo-2006 ngokubamba iqhaza kwezingqalabutho zetiye u-Zhāng Tiānfú (张天福) no-Luò Shàojūn (骆少君), nokungena emakethe ngo-2008.
• Igama:
  • “Yín” (银) — “isiliva”. Kukhomba umbala osasiliva wezinwele ezincane ehlumela kanye nasezingeni “lesiliva” ohlelweni lwamagreyidi (ngaphansi “kwegolide”, ngaphezulu “kwethusi”).
  • “Jùn” (骏) — “ihhashi elihle”, “elihle kakhulu”. Lihlotshaniswa namagama ezingcweti ezakhi (Jiāng Jùnshēng, Jiāng Jùnfǎ, Liáng Jùndé) kanye nesifiso sokuphumelela ngokushesha emakethe.
  • “Méi” (眉) — “amashiye”. Ichaza isimo setiye elomile — sincane, sigotshwe kancane, sikhumbuza ishiye elenzeke kahle.
• Ukubaluleka kwamasiko: I-Yín Jùn Méi ibambe indima ebalulekile njengoba iyisango emhlabeni wamatiye abomvu ase-Tóngmù asezingeni eliphezulu. Ngekhwalithi yezinto ezisetshenziswayo nobuchwepheshe obuqhathanisekayo, ifinyeleleka kakhulu kune-Jīn Jùn Méi, okwenza kube ukukhetha okudumile kwabanolwazi abaphuza itiye nsuku zonke nokwazisa ngochungechunge lwe-Jùn Méi. Emakethe yasekhaya yaseChina, i-Yín Jùn Méi ingelinye lamatiye abomvu afunwa kakhulu esigabeni samanani aphakathi naphezulu.

3. Incazelo Yezitshalo kanye Nezinto Ezisetshenziswayo:

• Izinhlobo / Ukwahlukaniswa: Inani lendawo lezihlahla zetiye ezinamaqabunga amancane ezikhula zasendle noma eziphila ngokwengxenye zasendle — Qízhǒng (奇种, Qízhǒng) / Càichá (菜茶, Càichá), Camellia sinensis var. sinensis. Inani lezimbewu ezingafani, ebelikhula ezindaweni eziphakeme zesiqiwu sase-Wǔyíshān amakhulu eminyaka. Izinhlobo ezinamaqabunga amancane ziphawuleka ngokuqukethwe okuphezulu kwama-amino acid nokuphansi kwe-polyphenol ne-caffeine (uma kuqhathaniswa ne-var. assamica), okuqinisekisa ubumnandi obubodwa nokungabikho kobumuncu obuqinile.
• Ukuqoqa: Ngokuvamile kuqala ngemuva kwe-Qīngmíng (清明, ~5 Ephreli) futhi kuqhubeke kuze kube yi-Gǔyǔ (谷雨, ~20 Ephreli) nangemuva kwalokho — ukuqoqwa kwe-Yín Jùn Méi kuvame ukuqala ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngemuva kune-Jīn Jùn Méi, ngoba kumele kulindwe ukuvuleka kweqabunga lokuqala. Ukuqoqa kwenziwa ngezandla kuphela, ngesikhathi sezulu elomile.
• Izinga lokuqoqa: Ihlumela elilodwa elineqabunga elilodwa elincane, elithambile, elisanda kuvuleka phezulu (一芽一叶, yī yá yī yè). Lokhu kuwumehluko oyinhloko kwi-Jīn Jùn Méi (amahlumela kuphela) kanye ne-Tóng Jùn Méi (ihlumela elilodwa elinamahlamvu amabili). Kudingeka cishe amahlumela angu-50 000 anamaqabunga ukuze kwakhiwe u-500 g wetiye elilungile.
• Izidingo zempahla yokusetshenziswa: Amahlumela namaqabunga kumele aphelele, angonakaliswanga, alingane ngosayizi. Iqabunga kumele lithambe, hhayi eliqinile, ngaphandle kwezindawo ezimnyama. Ukubambezeleka okuncane phakathi kokuqoqa nokuqala kokulungiswa.

4. Indawo Engokwendawo kanye Izici Zokutshala:

• Isiqiwu sase-Wǔyíshān: Isiqiwu sezemvelo sikaZwelonke esinobubanzi obungu-565 km², indawo eyigugu lomhlaba le-UNESCO (1999). Izintaba eziwubomvu wesihlabathi namadwala entaba-mlilo; izihosha ezimqansa, izimpophoma, amahlathi asezindaweni ezishisayo anezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo ezihlukile.
• Umzana wase-Tóngmù: Utholakala ekujuleni kwesiqiwu. Izihlahla zetiye zikhula ngaphansi kwehlathi, ziphila ngokwengxenye zasendle noma zasendle ngokuphelele, emithambekeni yezintaba eqinile.
