Zhangping Shui Xian

Zhangping Shui Xian iwulong oyisicindezelo kuphela emhlabeni, oyibhizinisi lezinduna zedolobha laseZhangping esifundazweni saseFujian. Leli tiye lihlanganisa amasu asenyakatho (闽北, Mǐnběi) nangaseningizimu (闽南, Mǐnnán) weFujian kuwulong futhi likhiqizwa ngesimo esiyinqaba esiyisikwele esongwe ngephepha. Ngo-2022, ubuchwepheshe bokukhiqiza lona bafakwa ohlwini lwezizwe ezingamagugu ezingaphatheki ze-UNESCO njengengxenye ‘Yamasu Endabuko aseShayina Okwenza Itiye Namasiko Ahambisana Nawo’.

1. Ukuhlukaniswa Nomdabu:

• Uhlobo: Owulong (itiye elivutshiwe ngesigamu, izinga le-oxidation ~30–50%). Okuyiwo kuphela emkhakheni wewulong ecindezelwe (紧压乌龙茶, jǐnyā wūlóng chá). Kuvame ukuthoswa ngamalahle (炭焙, tàn bèi).
• Isigaba: Itiye elidumile lesifundazwe saseFujian (福建名茶). Umkhiqizo onesiqinisekiso sendawo evikelwe (国家地理标志产品, guójiā dìlǐ biāozhì chǎnpǐn). Amagama ahlobene: “itiye elilikhomane lamanzi” (水仙茶饼, Shuǐxiān chábǐng), “itiye lephepha” (纸包茶, zhǐ bāo chá), “itiye eliyisikwele” (四方茶, sìfāng chá).
• Imvelaphi: IShayina (中国), isifundazwe iFujian (福建省, Fújiàn shěng), umkhandlu wedolobha iLongyan (龙岩市, Lóngyán shì), umasipala wedolobha iZhangping (漳平市, Zhāngpíng shì). Indawo yokukhiqiza ihlanganisa izifunda eziyi-9 namadolobhana: iNanyang (南洋镇, Nányáng zhèn) — isizinda sokukhiqiza (cishe 80% wesamba sonke), iShuangyang (双洋镇, Shuāngyáng zhèn) — ikhaya lomlando lebhulokhi yetiye, kanye neChishui (赤水镇), iXinqiao (新桥镇), iWusi (吾祠乡), iLingdi (灵地乡), iXinan (溪南镇), iXianghu (象湖镇) neYongfu (永福镇).
• Izixhumanisi zendawo: 117°10′–117°45′ E, 24°54′–25°47′ N. Isizinda sokukhiqiza siyindawo enamafu egudla umfula iJupengxi (九鹏溪, Jiǔpéng xī) ekuphakameni okungu-600–800 m.

2. Umlando Nokubaluleka Kwamasiko:

• Umlando: Uhwebo lwetiye eZhangping luhluma enkathini yeYuan (元, 1271–1368): ngaleso sikhathi lapho kwaqalwa khona ukutshalwa kwezihlahla zetiye kulezi zindawo. Ngesikhathi seMing (明, 1368–1644) neQing (清, 1644–1912), imboni yetiye yayisifikile ezingeni elikhulu, okuqinisekiswa wukutholwa kwetiyeni eliyiYixing leMing ngesikhathi sokumba — ubufakazi obuqondile besiko letiye elithuthukile. Ngo-1914, umlimi wetiye uDeng Guanjin (邓观金, Dèng Guānjīn) waseShuangyang wakha ubuchwepheshe obungakaze bube khona emhlabeni bokucindezela itiye lamanzi — ibhulokhi yetiye (水仙茶饼, Shuǐxiān chábǐng), wahlanganisa izindlela zokwenza awulong asenyakatho naseningizimu yeFujian. Kukholelwa nokuthi ngesikhathi sokubusa kweGuangxu (光绪, 1875–1908), itiye elithi “Taichang” (泰昌茶庄, Tàichāng cházhuāng) laseZhangping lathola umklomelo wegolide embukisweni wasePanama. Kusukela ngawo-1980 kwaqala isigaba esisha: uhulumeni waqala uhlelo lokwenza uphawu lweZhangping Shui Xian. Ngo-1995, lolutiye lwawina indondo yegolide embukisweni wezoLimo weSibili waseShayina, kwathi ngo-2000 lwamukelwa eqoqweni leMnyuziyamu Kazwelonke Yetiye yaseShayina (中国茶叶博物馆) futhi lwafakwa ‘eNcwadini Yamatiye Adumile aseShayina’ (《中国名茶志》). Ngo-2005, iZhangping Shui Xian yathola isihloko esithi “Inkosi Yamazwe Ngamazwe Yetiye Ngezinkanyezi Ezinhlanu” emhlanganweni wamasiko etiye waseShayina-Japan-Korea. Ngo-2008, kwabhaliswa uphawu lohwebo oluhlanganyelwe olunesiqinisekiso sendawo, kwathi ngo-2009 uMnyango WezoLimo waseShayina wanikeza ngokusemthethweni lolutiye isimo somkhiqizo ovikelwe onesiqinisekiso sendawo. Ngo-2021, ubuchwepheshe bendabuko bokukhiqiza bafakwa kwiRejista Yesihlanu Yamagugu Angaphatheki aseShayina, kwathi ngo-29 Novemba 2022 — ohlwini lwamagugu angaphatheki e-UNESCO.

• Igama:

  • “Zhangping” (漳平) igama ledolobha elikhiqizayo. Igama lendawo lingahunyushwa ngokobunkondlo ngokuthi “ithafa ngasemanzini aseZhang”: u-漳 ubhekisela emfuleni wendawo, u-平 usho “ithafa, elinesilinganiso” — “lapho amanzi ehlangana nezinkulungwane zezintaba, le ndawo iyona kuphela enesilinganiso” (漳水之上，千山之中，此地独平).
  • “Shui Xian” (水仙) — ngokwezwi nezwi “ongafi wamanzi” noma “ubulili bamanzi”. Leli yigama lenhlobo yesihlahla setiye. Kukholelwa ukuthi livela ekuguqulweni kwesigodi kwegama elithi “Zhu” (祝) laba u-“Shui” (水): izihlahla zatholakala eduze nomgede iZhutaodong (祝桃洞) eJianyang, futhi “Zhu Tao Xian” kancane kancane laphenduka “Shui Xian”.
  • Ifomu elicindezelwe ngezinye izikhathi liye likhonjiswe ngegama elithi “bing” (饼, bǐng — “ikhekhe, idiski”), nakuba ngokwesimo kuyibhulokhi eyisikwele.

• Ukubaluleka kwamasiko: I-Zhangping Shui Xian iwulong oyisicindezelo sendabuko kuphela emhlabeni futhi ingenye yezimpawu zomasipala waseZhangping. Leli tiye lalithandwa ngabantu abadumile: ngokusho kwemithombo yendawo, uNdunankulu uZhou Enlai wayeyithanda itiye lamanzi futhi ngo-1956 walincoma izivakashi zaseJapan. Ingunjana eyaziwayo yengxoxo ehlekisayo uJiang Kun (姜昆) wabhalela iZhangping Shui Xian umbhalo wekhaligraphi othi “Iphunga letiye elihamba amakhulu amakhilomitha” (茶香万里). Leli tiye ngokwesiko lifunwa kakhulu eNtshonalanga yeFujian, eGuangdong, eXiamen nasemazweni aseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia. Umkhosi waminyaka yonke wokuvula ukuvuna (开采节) eNanyang uhambisana nomkhuba wokukhulekela “usanta wetiye” uLu Yu (陆羽, Lù Yǔ).

3. Incazelo Yezitshalo Nezinto Zokusetshenziswa:

• Uhlobo / Igama lomhlwenga: I-Fujian Shui Xian (福建水仙, Fújiàn Shuǐxiān), eyaziwa nangokuthi iShuiji Shui Xian (水吉水仙) noma iWuyishan Shui Xian (武夷水仙). Igama lesiLatini: Camellia sinensis cv. Fujian-shuixian. Uhlobo olusezingeni likazwelonke lokuqala (国家级良种), lwabhaliswa ngo-1985 ngenombolo GS13009-1985. Ngowokuqala ezinhlotsheni ezingamashumi amane nesishiyagalombili zikahulumeni zetiye futhi ngowokuqala ezinhlotsheni ezingamashumi amane nanye ezinkulu zamaqabunga eziyingxenye yesihlahla. Uhlobo lokungazaleli ngokocansi (无性系, wúxìngxì), uhlobo oluyingxenye yesihlahla (半乔木型 / 小乔木型, xiǎo qiáomù xíng), uqabunga olukhulu (大叶, dà yè), inhlobo evuthwa sekwephuzile (晚生种, wǎnshēng zhǒng). Ngokomlando, lolu hlobo luvela edolobhaneni laseDahu (大湖村) endaweni yaseXiaohu (小湖镇) kumasipala waseJianyang (建阳, Jiànyáng), esifundazweni saseFujian. Izici zezitshalo: icwecwe leqabunga likhulu (ngokuphindwe kanye nengxenye kuya kabili ubukhulu kunezinhlobo ezijwayelekile ezinamacembe amancane), liyagqinsi, linomzimba, linesikhumba; amalunga aphakathi amade; umzila omkhulu ubanzi futhi uyisicaba.
• Ukuvuna: Ukuvuna okuyinhloko kwasentwasahlobo (Ephreli – Meyi); futhi kungenzeka nokuvuna ekwindla. Itiye lasentwasahlobo libaluleke kakhulu ngenxa yomsoco onqwabelene ebusika.
• Izinga lokuvuna: Ikhalo elinesihlumela esisodwa namaqabunga amabili kuya kwamathathu (一芽二叶至三叶, yī yá èr yè zhì sān yè) entwasahlobo. Ezinhlotsheni eziphakeme, kungase kusetshenziswe izinga elintekenteke kakhulu — isihlumela esisodwa neqabunga elilodwa.
• Izidingo zezinto zokusetshenziswa: Amaqabunga kufanele abe nempilo, anganakala, avuthwe ngokulinganayo, angenazinongo ezingafanele kanye nobulukhuni obungadingekile. Ngokwezinga, izinto ezintsha zeZhangping Shui Xian kumele ziqukathe i-polyphenols okungenani engu-25,0% nama-amino acid okungenani engu-4,0%.

4. Indawo Nezici Zokutshalwa:

• Isifunda nendawo: IZhangping iseningizimu emaphakathi neFujian, empumalanga yeNtshonalanga yeFujian (闽西, Mǐnxī), emngceleni osenyakatho ‘wonxantathu osagolide’ waseNingizimu yeFujian. Indawo inezintaba ezingamaphesenti angamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye — “izintaba eziyisishiyagalolunye, amanzi ayisigamu, insimu eyisigamu” (九山半水半分田). Indawo inamagquma nezintaba, enezigodi, imifula nemingenela. Isizinda samasimu etiye sigudla umfula iJupengxi (九鹏溪), osolisa izithambeka futhi wakhe isimo sezulu esincane sendawo enamafu nenkungu.
• Ubude bokutshalwa: Kusuka ku-400 kuya ku-1000 m ngaphezu kolwandle; isizinda sokukhiqiza siyi-600–800 m endaweni yaseJupengxi.
• Isimo sezulu: I-subtropical monsoon. Izinga lokushisa elimaphakathi lonyaka liyi-16,9–20,7°C. Imvula ingu-1450–2100 mm ngonyaka. Isikhathi esingenasithwathwa siyizinsuku ezingama-251–317. Isilinganiso semahora okukhanya kwelanga ngonyaka acishe abe ngu-1853. Isibalo sezinsuku ezinamafu singaphezu kuka-200 ngonyaka. Umehluko omkhulu phakathi kwamazinga okushisa emini nasebusuku usiza ekunqwabelaneni kwama-amino acid nasekwakhekeni kwephrofayili yephunga eliyinkimbinkimbi. Isembozo sehlathi esizindeni somkhiqizo sidlula amaphesenti angamashumi ayisikhombisa.
• Inhlabathi: Kugcwele inhlabathi ebomvu-ephuzi eyi-laterite (红黄壤, hóng huáng rǎng) ene-asidi (pH 4,5–6,0), enamazinga aphezulu ezinto eziphilayo (≥ 6,01%), ecebile ngamachembe amancane — i-selenium ne-zinc. Isizinda sokukhiqiza siyindawo evikelwe amanzi: lapha akuvunyelwe ukusetshenziswa kukakhamba noma izibulala-zinambuzane, kusetshenziswa uhlelo lwe-ekholoji oluthi “ukufuya izingulube — i-biogas — itiye” (猪-沼-茶).

5. Ubuchwepheshe Bokukhiqiza:

Ubuchwepheshe beZhangping Shui Xian buhlanganisa izindlela zaseNyakatho yeFujian (“ukuvutshelwa okunzima”) kanye naseNingizimu yeFujian (“ukuvutshelwa okulula”) wawulong futhi sifaka isigaba esiyingqayizivele — ukucindezela emafomeni okhuni. Lonke uhlelo lwenziwa kusetshenziswa amathuluzi oqalo nokhuni, angathintani nensimbi ukuvimbela i-oxidation.

• Ukuvuna / 采青 — cǎiqīng: Amahlumela angaphezulu avunwa ngesikhathi sezulu elicacile futhi alethwe ngokushesha efemini, kugwenywa ukushisa ngokweqile nokulimala komshini.
• Ukomisa elangeni / 晒青 — shàiqīng: Ukomisa elangeni okumandla (较重, jiào zhòng) kuyisici esiyingqayizivele sobuchwepheshe baseZhangping. Kusebenzisa umsebenzi we-enzyme weqabunga futhi kubeka isisekelo sokuthuthuka kwephunga.
• Ukuphumula emthunzini / 晾青 — liàngqīng: Iqabunga elomisiwe lihanjiswa emthunzini, lapho “liphumula” futhi liphole. Kusetshenziswa umgomo “wokululaza kancane nokuhambisa kaningi” (薄摊多晾, báo tān duō liàng).
• Ukuphatha iziqu / 做青 — zuòqīng (ukunyakazisa nokuphumula): Isigaba esibalulekile sokwakha ukunambitheka nephunga. Imijikelezo yokunyakazisa (摇青, yáoqīng) nokuphumula iyashintshana. Ezigabeni zokuqala kusetshenziswa isisefo soqalo (水筛, shuǐshāi) ngokunyakazisa okulula; kwezakamuva kusetshenziswa umshini wokunyakazisa ngokuqinile. Umgomo uthi: “ukunyakazisa okulula, ukuphinda kaningi” (轻摇多次). Yile ndlela ethi “ukunyakazisa nokululaza okuncane” (摇青薄摊) eyakha uphawu lwephunga le-orchid.
• Ukumisa / 杀青 — shāqīng (炒青 — chǎoqīng): Ukushisisa ngezinga lokushisa eliphezulu kumisa izinqubo ze-enzyme futhi kulungise iphrofayili yephunga elifinyelelwe.
• Ukusonga / 揉捻 — róuniǎn: Ukusonga kwakheka isimo sangaphandle seqabunga futhi kusiza ekucobozekeni kwezindonga zamaseli, kwandisa ukukhishwa ngenkathi kunikwa amanzi.
• Ukubumba nokucindezela / 造型 — zàoxíng (kuhlanganisa ukubumba nokuqinisa): Isigaba esiyingqayizivele. Itiye elisongiwe lifakwa emafomeni okhuni akhethekile (木模, mù mó), akhiwe ngokhuni oluminyene lwendawo “huangdumu” (黄椟木, huáng dú mù) — angenaphunga, anomthamo omkhulu. Usayizi ojwayelekile wefomu: 6 × 6 × 2,5 cm (isigaba sangaphakathi ~5 × 5 cm). Itiye licindezelwa ngesando sokhuni (木槌, mù chuí) esinobude obungu-25 cm nesisekelo esiyisikwele esingu-4,5 × 4,5 cm. Ibhulokhi ngayinye isongwa ngephepha lokuhluza elidliwayo (ngokomlando — ephepheni elingenambala nelinganambitheki “maobianzhi”, 毛边纸), elenza umsebenzi wokuqinisa isimo. Ephepheni kuvame ukubhalwa uhlamu olubomvu — isifiso senhlanhla, inhlanhla noma igama lendawo.
• Ukuthosa / 烘焙 — hōngbèi (炭焙 — tàn bèi): Ukomisa nokuthosa kokugcina kwenziwa eziko lamalahle (焙笼, bèilóng) ezingeni lokushisa elingadluli ku-60°C. Ukuthosa ngamalahle kancane kunikeza itiye ukujula, ukuzinza nokuqina lapho ligcinwe.
• Ukuhlelwa / 分级 — fēnjí: Amabhulokhi aseqediwe ahlelwa ngekhwalithi abe amakilasi amathathu aphambili.

6. Izici Zengqondo Nezinzwa:

• Isimo sangaphandle seqabunga elomile: Amabhulokhi aminyene ayizikwele (方形, fāngxíng) anesisindo esisuka ku-5 kuya ku-15 g, esongwe ngobunono ngephepha. Ingaphezulu liyisicaba, liyisicaba. Umbala weqabunga elomile uluhlaza okotshani okumnyama onomthunzi onsundu ngokuphuzi, ofana nombala kabhanana ovuthiwe (似香蕉色). Ingxubevange exegayo (散茶, sǎn chá) inokusongeka okuqinile okude — “isimo senduku” (拐杖形, guǎizhàng xíng) noma “isimo sezinyosi” (扁担形, biǎndan xíng), “imibala emithathu” (三节色, sān jié sè) yesiqu kanye nesiqu esinamacala amane (四方梗, sìfāng gěng).
• Iphunga leqabunga elomile: Lihlanzekile, liphakeme futhi linwebekile. Kugcwele iphunga lemvelo le-orchid (兰花香, lánhuā xiāng) — “elifana ne-orchid ne-osmanthus” (如兰似桂). Etiyeni elisha kuvela kakhulu ithoni yezimbali entsha (清香, qīngxiāng); ekugcinweni kwalo kuqhubeka ukukhula kwephunga le-osmanthus (桂花香, guìhuā xiāng). Kungase kube khona ukunambitheka okuncane kwezinyosi nezithelo.
• Iphunga lotshwala: Ligqamile, linambitheka njengezimbali, liphakeme futhi lihlala isikhathi eside. Kuzwakala ngokucacile “ukuba yi-orchid” kwemvelo; ezinguqulweni ezithosiwe kwengezwa amanothi amantongomane nawekhebhu. Iphunga liyakhula futhi liyavela kusuka ekuncisheni kuya kokunye.
• Ukunambitheka: Kugcwele, kuthambile, 醇爽 (chún shuǎng) — “kuhlanzekile futhi kuyaqabulana”, kanyekanye kuthambile futhi kuphilile (鲜灵活泼, xiānlíng huópō). Ubukrakra nobuthuntu kuncane kakhulu. Ukunambitheka okumnandi okubuyayo (回甘, huígān) — kuhlala isikhathi eside futhi kucacile. Ekunambithekeni nasephungeni kukhona: izimbali (i-orchid, i-daffodil), izinyosi, izithelo ezintsha nezibhakwe, amanothi amnandi wezipayisi. Uma uphuza ngokujulile uzwa “iphunga ngaphakathi kokunambitheka” (味中透香). Ukunambitheka emva kokugwinya emphinjeni kuthambile, kuyasonga (喉润, hóu rùn).
• Umbala wotshwala: Olintongomane-liphuzi (橙黄) noma oluphuzi osagolide (金黄), okusobala futhi okuhlanzekile (清澈明亮). Lapho izinga lokuthosa likhula, umbala usondela ku-amber.
• Isisekelo setiye (iqabunga elenziwe itiye): Amaqabunga amakhulu, anamafutha, athambile futhi acwebezelayo (肥厚软亮). “Umphetho obomvu” (红边, hóng biān) oyingqayizivele — umphumela we-oxidation yemiphetho. Umzila omkhulu ubanzi futhi uphuzi (主脉宽黄). Umbala usuka koluhlaza okuphuzi kuya konsundu oyikhopha.

7. Ukwakheka Kwamakhemikhali:

• Ama-Polyphenol: Isilinganiso ezintweni ezintsha — okungenani 25,0% (ngokwezinga). Amelelwa ama-catechin nemikhiqizo ye-oxidation yawo eyingxenye. Ngokusho kwemithombo yaseShayina, ama-polyphenol eZhangping Shui Xian asheshisa ukuhlukaniswa kwamafutha ngempumelelo enkulu cishe ngo-30% kunawulong abajwayelekile.
• Ama-Amino Acid: Isilinganiso ezintweni ezintsha — okungenani 4,0%. Ingxenye eyinhloko i-L-theanine (L-茶氨酸, L-chá’ānjī suān), enikeza ubusha (鲜爽度) nobumnandi obufana no-umami. Izinga eliphezulu lama-amino acid libangelwa isimo sezulu esinamafu nokukhanya okuhlakazekile kweJupengxi.
• Ama-Alkaloid: I-caffeine (咖啡碱, kāfēi jiǎn) — izinga limaphakathi, elijwayelekile ematiyeni avutshiwe ngesigamu. I-theobromine (可可碱, kěkě jiǎn) ne-theophylline (茶碱, chá jiǎn) — ngamanani amancane.
• Amavithamini: UVithamini C, amavithamini eqembu B (B₁, B₂), UVithamini E, UVithamini K.
• Amaminerali: I-Potassium (K), i-Magnesium (Mg), i-Manganese (Mn), i-Iron (Fe), i-Fluoride (F). Inhlabathi yesifunda icebile nge-selenium (Se) ne-zinc (Zn), okuvela kumphrofayili wamaminerali wetiye.
• Amafutha Abalulekile: Abangela iphunga lezimbali eliqinile. Ukwakheka kuhlanganisa i-nerol, i-linalool, i-geraniol kanye nama-esters azo — abathwali abajwayelekile bephrofayili ye-“orchid”.
• Izici: Umsebenzi wokulwa ne-antioxidant weZhangping Shui Xian, ngokusho kwemithombo yaseShayina, uphindwe izikhathi eziyi-18 ngaphezu kokusebenza kukaVitamini E emandleni okuqeda ama-radical akhululekile.

8. Izinzuzo Zezempilo:

• Umphumela wokuqabula ngokuthamba: Inhlanganisela ye-caffeine ne-L-theanine inikeza ukuphaphama ngaphandle kokuqhuma okusheshayo: i-L-theanine ithambisa umphumela we-caffeine, yakha isimo sokuhlushwa okunokuthula.
• Ukusebenza kwe-Antioxidant: Izinga eliphezulu lama-polyphenol lisiza ekuvikeleni amangqamuzana ekucindezelweni kwe-oxidative nasekwehliseni izinqubo zokuguga.
• Ukusekelwa kokusebenza kwamafutha: Ama-polyphenol etiye asiza ekuhlukanisweni kwamafutha futhi angasiza ekwehliseni izinga “lama-cholesterol amabi” (LDL).
• Ukugayeka kokudla: Kukhuthaza ukukhiqizwa kwama-enzyme okugaya, kusiza ekugqitshweni. Isici esiyingqayizivele: uma usiphuzile isikhathi eside futhi njalo, ayicasuli ulwelwesi lwesisu (久饮多饮而不伤胃), okwenza iZhangping Shui Xian yehluke kumatiye amaningi aluhlaza.
• Uhlelo lwenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi: Kungasiza ekuqiniseni izindonga zemithambo nasekugcineni ukunwebeka kwazo.
• Ukukhipha ubuthi: Kusiza ukukhipha imikhiqizo yokuqongelela umzimba ngokuthambile.
• Imisebenzi yokuqonda: I-L-theanine isekela umsebenzi wokuqonda, ithuthukise ukunaka futhi isize ekwehliseni ingcindezi.
• Umphumela wokufudumeza: Izinguqulo ezithosiwe zilunge kakhulu ngesikhathi sezulu esibandayo — ziyafudumeza ngaphandle kokulayisha umzimba.

9. Ukunikezwa:

• Izinga lokushisa lamanzi: 95–100°C. Akunconywa ukudlula ku-100°C: ngokusho kongoti baseShayina, izinga lokushisa eliphakeme kakhulu libhubhisa i-theanine futhi lehlise ubusha (鲜味, xiānwèi) botshwala.
• Isilinganiso setiye: Ibhulokhi eyodwa (5–8 g) ku-75–100 ml wamanzi uma kunikwa ngendlela ye-gongfu. Isilinganiso esingu-1:15 (5 g ku-75 ml) sithathwa njengesijwayelekile.
• Isitsha: I-gaiwan (盖碗, gàiwǎn) yobumba omhlophe — inketho ejwayelekile, eveza kahle amanothi ezimbali. I-teapot yobumba lwe-Yixing (宜兴紫砂壶, Yíxīng zǐshā hú) — yezinguqulo ezithosiwe, lapho ubumba lunikeza ukuthamba okwengeziwe.
• Inqubo:
  1. Futhumeza isitsha ngamanzi abilayo, uwachithe.
  2. Faka ibhulokhi ku-gaiwan noma e-teapot. Uma kusetshenziswa ibhulokhi ephelele, kulula ukuyihlephula kancane ngezandla ukuze kusheshise ukuvuleka. Vumela iqabunga “liphefumule” esitsheni esishisayo imizuzwana eyi-10–15.
  3. Ukuhlamba (润茶, rùn chá): thela amanzi imizuzwana emi-3–5 bese uwakhipha ngokushesha. Lokhu kuvusa iqabunga futhi kususe noma yiluphi uthuli olungenzeka.
  4. Ukuncibilisa kokuqala: thela amanzi bese ulinda imizuzwana eyi-15–20. Thela utshwala ku-chahai (公道杯, gōngdào bēi) noma ngqo ezinkomishini.
  5. Ukuncibilisa okulandelayo: izikhathi eziyi-6–8, ukwandisa isikhathi sokuncibilisa ngomzuzwana ngamunye ngo-5. IZhangping Shui Xian esezingeni eliphezulu imelana nezincibiliso eziyi-8, iveze kancane izici ezintsha zokunambitheka.
  6. Ukunikezwa okubandayo (冷泡法, lěng pào fǎ): 5 g wetiye ku-250 ml wamanzi abandayo, kuphelele esiqandisini amahora ayisi-6. Le ndlela “ikhiya” ubusha futhi inikeza utshwala obuntekenteke nobucwengile.

10. Ukugcinwa:

• Gcina endaweni eyomile, epholile, emnyama, esitsheni esivala umoya, kude nephunga langaphandle. Izitha zetiye: umswakama, izinga lokushisa eliphezulu, ukukhanya okuqondile, amaphunga anamandla.
• Izinguqulo ezithosiwe zinekhono eliphezulu lokugcinwa ngenxa yokuthosa ngamalahle. Isikhathi sokugcina — kuze kube yizinyanga ezingama-36 ngaphansi kwezimo ezifanele.
• Itiye elisha linconywa ukuthi ligcinwe izinsuku eziyi-15 endaweni emnyama ukuze “kukhishwe umlilo” (褪火, tuì huǒ) ngaphambi kokunikezwa kokuqala.
• Ngemva kokuvula iphakethe, kuyanconywa ukuthi usebenzise itiye phakathi kwezinsuku eziyi-7, ukuze iphunga lingaphumi.
• Izinguqulo ezigugile (陈年, chénnián) zivumela ukugcinwa isikhathi eside: ngaphansi kwezimo ezifanele, iphunga liyaguquka — lisuka kwezimbali liye kwi-osmanthus nakwamahlathi.

11. Intengo Nokukopela:
