Zǐjuān Hóngchá · new.thetea.app

Zǐjuān Hóngchá — itiye elibomvu elenziwe ngamaqabunga e-cultivar eyingqayizivele i-Zǐjuān (紫鵑, “iNkankane EyiPhephuli”), eyakhiqizwa ngo-1985 yi-Yunnan Tea Research Institute. I-Zǐjuān iwukuphela kwe-cultivar yetiye emhlabeni enombala oqinile onophephuli emiqulwini, amaqabunga nasezindunwini, okubangelwa izinga eliphakeme kakhulu lama-anthocyanin (花青素, huāqīngsù). Ezinhlotsheni ezingaphezu kweziyisithupha ezenziwa kulesi sithako, itiye elibomvu lithathwa njengolunye lwezindlela eziphumelela kakhulu: ukubiliswa okuphelele kunciphisa ukubaba nokuhwabhi okujwayelekile kwetiye eliluhlaza le-Zǐjuān futhi kwembula iphrofayili ejulile yoju nesimbali, ngenkathi kugcina ingxenye enkulu yama-anthocyanin asebenzayo.

1. Ukuhlukaniswa Nendabuko:

Uhlobo: Itiye elibomvu (紅茶, hóngchá), elibiliswe ngokuphelele.
Isigaba: I-Diānhóng (滇紅) — isikole setiye elibomvu sase-Yunnan. I-subcategory ehlukile ehlukaniswa nge-cultivar hhayi ngenqubo yokukhiqiza. Ngezinye izikhathi ibekwa njenge “tiye elisebenzayo” (功能性茶飲) ngenxa yokuqukethwe okuphezulu kwama-anthocyanin.
Imvelaphi: I-China, isifundazwe sase-Yunnan (雲南省). Indawo yokuqala — indawo ye-Yunnan Tea Research Institute (雲南省茶葉科學研究所) esifundeni sase-Měnghǎi (勐海縣), e-Xīshuāngbǎnnà. Kamuva i-cultivar i-Zǐjuān yafakwa kwezinye izifunda zase-Yunnan (Pǔ’ěr, Líncāng), kanye nase-Fújiàn, Zhèjiāng, Sìchuān, Guǎngdōng kanye ne-Guìzhōu.
Izixhumanisi zendawo (indawo yokuqala): ~21°55′ N, 100°26′ E (Měnghǎi).
Amanye amagama: Zǐjuān hóngchá (紫鵑紅茶); Zǐyún hóng (紫雲紅, “Ifu EliyiPhephuli Elibomvu” — igama lokuhweba labanye abakhiqizi); Zǐjuān diānhóng (紫鵑滇紅).

2. Umlando Nokubaluleka Kwamasiko:

Ngo-1985, umcwaningi we-Yunnan Tea Research Institute wathola engadini yokucwaninga (ama-mu angaphezu kuka-200, izihlahla ezingaphezu kwezi-60,000 ze-Yunnan large-leaf variety) isitshalo esisodwa esingajwayelekile: amaqabunga amancanyana, amaqabunga asemasha, nezindunduma zazinombala ophephuli ngokuphelele. Isishintshi sahlukaniswa, futhi kusetshenziswa ukusabalalisa ngokuhluma (短穗扦插 — ukusikwa kwama-node amafushane), kwakhiqizwa umugqa ozinzile, owaqanjwa ngokuthi “Zǐjuān” (紫鵑) — ebizwa ngomlingiswa wenoveli ka-Cáo Xuěqín ethi “Iphupho Ehhokweni Elibomvu” (紅樓夢).

Iminyaka engamashumi amabili i-cultivar yahlolwa futhi yasabalalisa. Ngo-2005, iziqephu zokuqala zokuhweba zetiye zatholakala, ikakhulukazi ngendlela ye-shēng pǔ’ěr ecindezelwe. Ngo-2015, i-Zǐjuān yathola ukuvikelwa njengohlobo olusha lwesitshalo oluvela ku-State Forestry Administration ye-PRC (國家林業局植物新品種保護授權).

Ukusetshenziswa kwe-Zǐjuān ukukhiqiza itiye elibomvu — kwenzeka kamuva (iminyaka yawo-2010). Kwagqugquzelwa ukubona ukuthi ukubiliswa kuguqula kakhulu ukunambitheka: itiye eliluhlaza elibabayo nelihwabhisayo le-Zǐjuān lithathelwa indawo itiye elibomvu elimnene, elimnandi nelinuka kamnandi, lapho izinga eliphezulu lama-anthocyanin livezwa hhayi ngokubaba, kodwa ngombala omuhle wokumnika, i-acidity ecijile “yezithelo” kanye namandla aqinile okulwa ne-oxidation.

Ukubaluleka kwamasiko: I-Zǐjuān Hóngchá ibekwa njenge “tiye lempilo” (養生茶) ngenxa yezakhiwo eziqinisekisiwe zama-anthocyanin. E-Yunnan, ibizwa ngokuthi “inkosi yama-anthocyanin” (花青素之王). I-cultivar icwaningwa kakhulu esimweni sokudla okusebenzayo kanye ne-cosmeceutical. Inkampani i-Qícǎi Yúnnán (七彩雲南) — omunye wabakhiqizi abakhulu — ikhipha ulayini wemikhiqizo ye-Zǐjuān: kusuka kumatiye endabuko acindezelwe kuya ku-paste yetiye (茶膏) kanye nama-granule asheshayo (茶珍), lapho ubuchwepheshe bokukhipha bungenelelwe ngokukhethekile ukugcina ama-anthocyanin angazinzile. I-Zǐjuān iphinde ihehe ukunaka kwabacwaningi bamazwe omhlaba: ukushicilelwa ngezakhiwo zayo ze-bioactive kuvela kumajenali e-chemistry yokudla kanye ne-nutraceutical.

3. Incazelo Yezitshalo Nesithako:

I-cultivar: Zǐjuān (紫鵑, Zǐjuān) — Camellia sinensis var. assamica, umugqa oshintshile, okhiqizwa ngokuhluma kwe-clonal esuka esishintsheni esizimele se-Yunnan large-leaf variety.
I-morphology: Isihlahla esincane (小喬木), umqhele ongavulekile kahle (樹姿開張). Izindunduma ezingakaze zishube ngokuphelele — zibomvu ngokwephuli; ezesikhulile — zinsundu ngokuluhlaza. Iqabunga — li-elliptical elide (柳葉型), liluhlaza ngokwephuli; amahlumela amancanyana (imbali + amaqabunga ayi-1–3) — aphephuli ngokuphelele. Izinwele eziningi ezi-silvery. Ingokohlobo lwamaqabunga amakhulu (大葉類), iphakathi nendawo ngesikhathi sokukhula (中芽種).
Isici esibalulekile — ukushintsha kombala ngenkathi: Januwari–Ephreli: amahlumela abomvu ngokwephuli. Meyi–Okthoba: ajulile ngokushayana. Novemba–Disemba: abomvu ngokwephuli okukhanyayo. Amaqabunga amadala — aluhlaza ngokujulile unyaka wonke.
Ukuvuna: Intwasahlobo (Mashi–Ephreli) — ukuvuna okubaluleke kakhulu: izinga eliphakeme kakhulu lama-anthocyanin, ubumnene. Ihlobo nekwindla — amaqoqo ajwayelekile.
Izinga lokuvuna: Imbali eyodwa namaqabunga ayi-1–2 kumaqoqo amahle; imbali eyodwa namaqabunga ayi-2–3 — kumaqoqo ajwayelekile.
Izidingo zekhwalithi: Amahlumela aphephuli aphelele angenakho ukulimala. Ukuqina kombala ophephuli — kuyinkomba eqondile yokuqukethwe kwama-anthocyanin.

4. I-Terroir Nezici Zokutshalwa:

Isifunda sokuqala: Měnghǎi (勐海), Xīshuāngbǎnnà, Yunnan. Kamuva yafakwa e-Pǔ’ěr, Líncāng nangale kwe-Yunnan.
Izidingo zemvelo: Izinga lokushisa eliphakathi ngonyaka ~15°C; ubuncane obukhulu abukho ngaphansi kuka-–5°C; i-pH yenhlabathi 4,5–5,5 (emuncu). Isimo sezulu esishisayo noma esishisayo esinokwenzeka kwesikhathi sonyaka.
Ukuphakama kokutshalwa: 1 000–1 800 m. Imiphumela emihle kakhulu — endaweni eyi-1 200–1 500 m, lapho umehluko wamazinga okushisa emini nawasebusuku ukhuthaza ukwenziwa kwama-anthocyanin.
Ukusabalalisa: Ngokuhluma kuphela (ukusika). Ukumila kuphakeme; ukumelana namakhaza, isomiso, nezifo kuphakeme uma kuqhathaniswa nezinhlobo ezijwayelekile zamaqabunga amakhulu.
Indawo yokutshala: Ngeminyaka yawo-2020, i-Zǐjuān itshalwa ngobuningi obulinganiselwe ikakhulukazi e-Yunnan (Měnghǎi, Pǔ’ěr, Líncāng); ingqikithi yendawo yokutshala incane kakhulu kunezinhlobo ezijwayelekile zamaqabunga amakhulu, okubangela ukungajwayelekile nentengo ephezulu.
Izici zokulima: I-Zǐjuān inezidingo ezijwayelekile zohlobo lwe-Yunnan large-leaf: inhlabathi emuncu, umswakama owenele, ukuvikela esiqhweni esibi. Kodwa-ke emsebenzini kutholakala ukuthi ukuqina kombala ophephuli (kanye, ngokufanele, nokuqukethwe kwama-anthocyanin) kuncike eqenjini lezinto: ukuphakama ngaphezu kogu lolwandle (phezulu — kukhanya), ukuqina kwemisebe ye-ultraviolet, umehluko wamazinga okushisa, kanye nokwakheka kwenhlabathi. Amasimu asezindaweni ezinemisebe ye-UV enamandla kanye nomehluko omkhulu wamazinga okushisa emini (≥10°C) akhiqiza isithako “esigqamile” kakhulu. Lokhu kuchaza ukuthi kungani i-Zǐjuān yase-Měnghǎi nase-Líncāng idlula ngezinga lama-anthocyanin izitshalo ezifakwe ezindaweni ezifudumele nezisamathafa ngale kwe-Yunnan.

5. Ubuchwepheshe Bokukhiqiza:

Ubuchwepheshe be-Zǐjuān Hóngchá — bujwayelekile ngetiye elibomvu lase-Yunnan (diānhóng), kunezici ezithile ezibangelwa ukuqukethwe okuphezulu kwama-anthocyanin.

Ukuvuna (采摘): Ukukha ngesandla amahlumela aphephuli, imbali eyodwa + amaqabunga ayi-1–2.
Ukubuna (萎凋): Amahora ayi-12–18, ngokwemvelo noma ekamelweni elilawulwa izinga lokushisa. Iqabunga lilahlekelwa umswakama 55–65%, libe lithambile. Umbala ophephuli wamahlumela ugcinwa.
Ukusonga (揉捻): Ngesandla noma ngamasilinda. Ubuningi bumaphakathi — ukugcina ubumbano lweqabunga kanye nokukhishwa kwejusi ngokulinganayo.
Ukubilisa / Uku-oxidation (發酵): Amahora ayi-4–6, ngo-25–28°C. Isigaba esibaluleke kakhulu: ukubiliswa okuphelele kuguqula ama-catechin ababayo kanye nama-anthocyanin “abukhali” abe yizingulube ezipholima ezimnene (ama-thearubigin, ama-theaflavin), okunciphisa kakhulu ukubaba nokuhwabhi okujwayelekile kwetiye eliluhlaza le-Zǐjuān.
Ukomisa (烘乾/日曬): Izinga lokushisa eliphezulu (nge-diānhóng yendabuko) noma ukomisa ilanga (nge-shàihóng). Ingxenye yama-anthocyanin iyonakala lapho izinga lokushisa liphezulu; ukomisa ilanga kuwagcina ngezinga elikhulu.
Isici: Ucwaningo lukhombise ukuthi ukuqukethwe kwama-anthocyanin etiyeni elibomvu le-Zǐjuān kuncane kunakweliluhlaza (烘青), kodwa kusengaphezulu kakhulu kunanoma yiliphi itiye elibomvu lezinhlobo ezijwayelekile. Ngenkathi kunjalo, ukuqukethwe kwe-caffeine enguqulweni ebomvu — kungokuphezulu kunawo wonke amafomu okukhiqiza e-Zǐjuān. Okuthokozisayo ukuthi ukuqukethwe kwe-gallic acid (没食子酸) noshukela oncibilikayo emanzini kuyanda ngesikhathi sokubiliswa, okuyinto echaza ukunambitheka okumnene nokumuncu kakhulu kwetiye elibomvu uma kuqhathaniswa neliluhlaza. Izingcweti zase-Měnghǎi ziphawula ukuthi izinga elifanele lokubiliswa kwe-Zǐjuān Hóngchá — liphezulu kancane kunelijwayelekile nge-diānhóng (90–95% esikhundleni sika-85–90%): lokhu kunciphisa kakhulu ukubaba kwama-anthocyanin, ngaphandle kokubhubhisa ngokuphelele umsebenzi wazo we-bioactive.

6. Izici Ze-Organoleptic:

Ukubukeka kweqabunga elomile: Amaqabunga amakhulu ngokunesilinganiso, asongwe ngokuqinile, amnyama ngokunsundu acishe abe mnyama, anomnyakazo ophephuli. Uboya obuncane. Ukubukeka okujwayelekile kumnyama kunakwi-diānhóng ejwayelekile.
Uphunga lweqabunga elomile: Umfutho omaphakathi, onamanothi ojusi, amajikijolo asehlathini (i-blueberry, i-blackberry), nephunga elicishe libe “umuthi” (中藥香), eliyisici se-Zǐjuān.
Uphunga lokumnika: Oluju, olunengxenye egqamile yezimbali kanye ne-nuance ecashile “yezithelo”. Alusinda kakhulu kunolwe-diānhóng ejwayelekile — lujulile futhi lukhosele ngaphakathi.
Ukunambitheka: Kumnene, kuyalingana (平和, pínghé — “enokuthula” — igama elivela ekuhlungweni kochwepheshe). Ubumnandi buqhubekele, bungenabudlova. I-acidity encane “yezithelo” — wuphawu lwe-Zǐjuān. Ukuhwabhi kuncane. Ukunambitheka kwangemva kuhlala isikhathi eside, kumnandi. Umzimba — umaphakathi, kodwa “uhlanzekile”.
Umbala wokumnika: I-amber ebomvu, ehlanzekile necacile, enombala we-ruby oyingqayizivele. Umnyama kancane kunakwi-diānhóng ejwayelekile. Ngokungafani netiye eliluhlaza le-Zǐjuān (lapho umnikwa unombala ophephuli), itiye elibomvu alibonisi umbala ogqamile onsomi — ama-anthocyanin afihlwa ama-thearubigin.
Isisekelo setiye: Amaqabunga abomvu ngokujulile anomsu ophephuli, athambile, aqinile kancane (isici esijwayelekile se-Zǐjuān esiphawulwa ekuhlungweni kochwepheshe).

7. Ukwakheka Kwamakhemikhali:

Ama-anthocyanin (花青素): Isici esihlukile esiyinhloko se-Zǐjuān. Isilinganiso sokuqukethwe esithakeni — ~26,7 mg/g (ngokwe-Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2014), okuphakeme ngo-~4 izikhathi kunasezishintsheni ezifile (紫芽, ~6,7 mg/g). Kukhonjwe: i-delphinidin (飛燕草色素), i-cyanidin (矢車菊素), i-pelargonidin (天竺葵素), i-peonidin (芍藥色素) kanye ne-malvidin (錦葵色素). Ngesikhathi sokubiliswa, ingxenye yama-anthocyanin iyacekelwa, kodwa isilinganiso esisele sisekhulu kakhulu kunesijwayelekile samatiye abomvu ajwayelekile.
Ama-polyphenol: 20–30% wesisindo esomile. Ama-catechin aguqulelwe ngokwengxenye abe ama-theaflavin nama-thearubigin. Ukuqukethwe kwama-catechin kuyehla ngokunyuka kwezinga lokubiliswa (etikweni elibomvu — kuncane uma kuqhathaniswa neliluhlaza nelimhlophe).
Ama-amino acid: 2–3%. I-L-theanine inikeza ubumnene nobumnandi.
I-caffeine: 3–5% — ukuqukethwe okukhuphukile; phakathi kwawo wonke amafomu okukhiqiza e-Zǐjuān, itiye elibomvu likhombisa izinga eliphakeme kakhulu le-caffeine.
Ama-flavonoid (黃酮類): Ukuqukethwe okukhuphukile uma kuqhathaniswa nezinhlobo ezijwayelekile zase-Yunnan.
I-zinc (鋅): Izinga eliphezulu — isici esiyisici se-Zǐjuān.
Izinhlanganisela ezinuka kamnandi: I-linalool, i-linalool oxides, i-benzyl alcohol — izakhi ezibalulekile. Iphrofayili incane ngokuhlukahluka kune-diānhóng ejwayelekile (izinhlanganisela ezingama-68 ezihlonziwe etiyeni elibomvu uma kuqhathaniswa nama-80–81 eluhlaza).

8. Izakhiwo Ezinempilo:

Umthelela onamandla wokulwa ne-oxidation: Ama-anthocyanin — angenye yezinto eziphilayo ezisebenza kahle kakhulu zokulwa ne-oxidation, ezedlula amavithamini C no-E. Ngisho nangemva kokubiliswa, i-Zǐjuān Hóngchá igcina amandla amakhulu okulwa ne-oxidation.
Umthelela wokwehlisa umfutho wegazi: Ucwaningo lwe-Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences luqinisekise ikhono lezicaphuno ze-Zǐjuān lokwehlisa umfutho wegazi.
Umthelela wokulwa nokuguga: Ama-anthocyanin asiza ukuvikela amangqamuzana emonakalweni we-ultraviolet kanye nokucindezelwa kwe-oxidative. I-Zǐjuān ibizwa ngokuthi “umuthi wemvelo wobuhle wokuthatha ngaphakathi.”
Ukusekela ukubona: Ama-anthocyanin (ikakhulukazi i-delphinidin) athuthukisa ukuhamba kwegazi emithanjeni encane ye-retina.
Ukuqabuleka okumnene: Izinga eliphezulu le-caffeine elihlangene ne-L-theanine linikeza umphumela olinganayo wokuqabuleka.
Ukwehlisa amafutha egazini: Ama-polyphenol nama-flavonoid asiza ukwenza ijwayelekile iphrofayili yamafutha.
Umthelela wokulwa namagciwane: Ama-anthocyanin nama-polyphenol anezakhiwo eziqinisekisiwe zokulwa namagciwane, ecindezela ama-microorganism ayimbangela yezifo.
Ukusekela imisebenzi yokuqonda: I-L-theanine ihlangene ne-caffeine kanye nama-antioxidants ama-anthocyanin isekela umsebenzi wokuqonda nokugxilisa ingqondo, ngenkathi kunciphisa ukukhathazeka. Inhlanganisela “yokuqabuleka + ukuvikela” yenza i-Zǐjuān Hóngchá ihehe kubantu abasebenza ngaphansi kwengcindezi enkulu yokuqonda.
Umthelela wokunciphisa ukuvuvukala: Ama-anthocyanin anekhono eliqinisekisiwe lokwehlisa izinga lezimpawu zokuvuvukala okuhleliwe.

9. Ukwenza Itiye:

Amanzi: Kunconywa amanzi ahlanzekile angathathi hlangothi (pH ~7,0). Amanzi amuncu (pH < 5) ashintsha umbala wokumnika uye ngasohlangothini olubomvu; amanzi ane-alkaline (pH > 8) — ayawushintsha ube luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Ukuze kube nokunambitheka okujwayelekile okubomvu, okungathathi hlangothi kulungile.
Izinga lokushisa lamanzi: 85–90°C. I-cultivar encane (izihlahla ze-Zǐjuān zineminyaka engaphezu kuka-40 ubudala) inikeza isithako esinesakhiwo samangqamuzana esiminyene kancane kunezihlahla ezindala; ukushisa ngokweqile kwandisa ukubaba.
Inani letiye: 4–5 g ku-100–120 ml (i-gōngfū); 2–3 g ku-200–250 ml (ukumunyisa).
Izitsha: I-gàiwǎn ye-porcelain (i-porcelain emhlophe iveza ama-nuance ombala wokumnika). Izitsha zengilazi — ukujabulela umbukwane.
Inqubo:
1. Ukushisa izitsha.
2. Ukuthela itiye.
3. Ukuhlanza akudingekile (isithako sithambile).
4. Ukumnika kokuqala: 8–12 amasekhondi.
5. Okulandelayo: kwandisa ngamasekhondi ayi-5.
Ukuphawula ngamanzi: Ikhwalithi ne-pH yamanzi — kuyisici esibaluleke kakhulu nge-Zǐjuān. Amanzi ompompi emadolobheni ahlukahlukene ane-pH ehlukile (ngokuvamile 6,5–8,5), okuba nomthelela oqondile kumbala nokunambitheka kokumnika. Ukuze kube nomphumela ozinzile, kunconywa amanzi asemabhodleleni angathathi hlangothi. Ukusebenzisa amanzi aqinile noma ane-alkaline kunganikeza umnikwa ukunambitheka “okungokomhlaba” okungathandeki futhi kushintshe umbala uye ngasohangeni oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka.
Indlela yase-Europe: 2–3 g ngenkomishi engu-200–250 ml, ukumunyisa imizuzu emi-3–4 ngo-85°C. I-Zǐjuān Hóngchá imnene futhi imnandi ngalolu hlobo; i-nuance “yezithelo” ivezwa ngokuthintwa okuthe ukuba isikhathi eside namanzi.

10. Ukugcinwa:

Isiqukathi: Sivaleke kahle, singangeni ukukhanya (ama-anthocyanin azwela ukukhanya noku-oxidation).
Izimo: 10–25°C, umswakama ongaphansi kuka-60%, kude nephunga langaphandle.
Isikhathi: Izinyanga eziyi-12–18 ukuze kube nokunambitheka okuhle. Ukugcinwa isikhathi eside akunconywa: ama-anthocyanin aya-oxidize kancane kancane, alahlekelwe umsebenzi wawo we-bioactive. I-Zǐjuān — itiye “elibaluleke liselisha, hhayi selidala” (貴新不貴陳). Ucwaningo lukhombise ukuthi amasampuli agcinwe iminyaka engaphezu kweyi-10 alahlekelwa umbala oyingqayizivele ophephuli wokumnika kanye ne-acidity “yezithelo”, asondela ekunambithekeni kwe-diānhóng evuthiwe ejwayelekile. Ngakho-ke, inhloso yokuphuza i-Zǐjuān — isephrofayilini yayo eyingqayizivele “entsha”; ngezinhloso zokuvuthwa, kungcono ukukhetha esinye isithako.

11. Intengo Nemgunqo:

I-Zǐjuān Hóngchá ibiza kakhulu kune-diānhóng ejwayelekile ngenxa yendawo yokutshala elinganiselwe kanye nokukhetheka kwesithako. Ububanzi obulinganiselwe: amaqoqo ajwayelekile — 500–1 200 yuan/500 g; amaqoqo entwasahlobo amahle avela e-Měnghǎi — 1 500–3 000 yuan.

Indlela yokugwema imgunqo:

Ungaphambanisi “nezimbali eziphephuli” (紫芽): I-Zǐjuān i-cultivar ezinzile enombala ophephuli emiqulwini, amaqabunga, nasezindunwini kuyo yonke inkathi yokukhula. Izishintshi ezifile eziphephuli (紫芽) — ziyenzeka ngokuzenzekela, azinzile, zinombala ophephuli emaqabungeni ayi-1–3 wokuqala kuphela.
Ukuhlolwa “kwe-acid-base reaction”: Ukufaka iconsi lejusi kalamula emnikweni wangempela we-Zǐjuān kushintsha umbala uye ngasohlangothini olubomvu; iconsi le-soda — liya ngasohlangothini oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Itiye elibomvu elijwayelekile alinakho ukusabela okunjalo (noma libe nokusabela okuncane kakhulu).
Uphunga nokunambitheka: Nge-Zǐjuān Hóngchá yangempela — kune-nuance eyisici “yezithelo” (i-blueberry, i-blackberry), engekho kwi-diānhóng ejwayelekile.

12. Amaqiniso Athakazelisayo:

Isishintshi esisodwa — i-cultivar yonke: Zonke izihlahla ze-Zǐjuān emhlabeni — zingama-clone esitshalo esisodwa esatholakala ngo-1985. Alukho olunye uhlobo lwetiye emhlabeni olunomsuka “omncane” kangako.
“Imibala emithathu”: I-Zǐjuān ibizwa ngokuthi “itiye elinemibala emithathu” (三色茶): iqabunga elomile — liphephuli ngokumnyama, umnikwa — uphephuli (ngetiye eliluhlaza) noma umbala we-ruby (ngebomvu), isisekelo setiye — siluhlaza okomshubaba (ngebomvu) noma sibomvu ngokujulile sinomsu ophephuli (ngebomvu).
Itiye eliyi-chameleon: Umnikwa we-Zǐjuān (esimweni setiye eliluhlaza) ushintsha umbala ngokuya nge-pH yamanzi: amuncu — abomvu; angathathi hlangothi — abe phephuli; ane-alkaline — aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Lesi sakhiwo sisetshenziswa njengokuhlola ubuqiniso.
Ubuningi beminyaka engama-40: Izihlahla ezindala kakhulu ze-Zǐjuān — zilingana ‘nokutholwa’ kokuqala (1985), okusho ukuthi zinobudala obungaba ngu-40. Ngamazinga okulima itiye lase-Yunnan, lokhu “kusha”. Kungakho phakathi kwezazi ze-pǔ’ěr, i-Zǐjuān idala ukusabela okungahambisani kahle: isithako esincane asinakho ukujula kanye “nobumaminerali” bezihlahla zasendulo, kodwa-ke izinga eliphakeme kakhulu lama-anthocyanin lihlawumbisela “ukushoda” kweminyaka ngokusebenza okuyingqayizivele.
U-Lù Yǔ “nokuphephuli”: Encwadini ethi “I-Canon Yetiye” (《茶經》, Chájīng, 760 AD), u-Lù Yǔ wabhala: “Ezindaweni ezinamathunzi asezintabeni — okuyi-phephuli kuphakeme, okuluhlaza kusezingeni eliphansi” (陽崖陰林，紫者上，綠者次). Nakuba u-Lù Yǔ wayeqondise ezishintsheni eziyiphephuli zasendle, abamaketha besikhathi samanje be-Zǐjuān bawusebenzisa kakhulu lo msho.
Amtiye ayisithupha esihlahleni esisodwa: Ngamaqabunga e-Zǐjuān, kukhiqizwa ngempumelelo zonke izinhlobo eziyisithupha eziyinhloko zetiye (oluhlaza, omhlophe, ophuzi, oolong, obomvu kanye nomnyama/heichá), kanye ne- chágāo (i-paste yetiye) kanye namagranule asheshayo. Kodwa-ke itiye elibomvu netiye elimhlophe kuthathwa njengamafomu aphumelela kakhulu: ukubiliswa kususa ukubaba ngokweqile, futhi ama-anthocyanin agcinwa ngezinga elelanele.
Uzwelo kwi-pH: I-Zǐjuān — iwukuphela kwetiye lokuhweba, umnikwa walo (ngendlela eluhlaza) ukhombisa ukusabela kombala okucacile ngenxa ye-acidity yamanzi, okubonakala ngeso lenyama. Lesi sakhiwo asisetshenziswa kuphela njengesivivinyo sobuqiniso, kodwa futhi njengesisetshenziswa esibonakalayo ezifundweni ze-chemistry.

14. Ukuphikisa Nokuxwayisa:

Ukuqukethwe okukhuphukile kwe-caffeine: Phakathi kwawo wonke amafomu okukhiqiza e-Zǐjuān, itiye elibomvu likhombisa izinga eliphakeme kakhulu le-caffeine. Nciphisa ukudla ntambama.
Akunconywa ngesisu esingenalutho: Kungabangela ukungaphatheki kahle esiswini.
Isithako esincane: Izihlahla ze-Zǐjuān zincane (zifinyelela ~40 weminyaka); isithako asikavuthwa kangako kunezihlahla zasendulo. Uma ukwenza itiye kweqile isikhathi, kungase kuvele ukubaba okubonakalayo.
Ukukhulelwa nokuncelisa: Kunconywa ukunciphisa ku-2–3 g/usuku noma uthintane nodokotela.

Ekuphetheni:

I-Zǐjuān Hóngchá — itiye elisekuhlanganeni kwesiko nesayensi: ngale kombala walo ophephuli kunakho kokubili ukuhlakanipha kwasendulo kuka-Lù Yǔ (“okuyiphephuli kuphakeme”), ukukhethwa kwesimanje, kanye ne-biochemistry yama-anthocyanin. Phakathi kwawo wonke amafomu okukhiqiza e-Zǐjuān, itiye elibomvu, mhlawumbe, “linambitheka kakhulu” — ngaphandle kobubaba obuluhlaza, ngaphandle kobunzima be-pǔ’ěr. Limnene, lihle futhi linikezwe i-nuance ecijile “yezithelo”, engatholakali kunoma yiliphi elinye itiye elibomvu. Kulabo abafuna hhayi nje ukunambitha, kodwa ukusebenza — ukuvikelwa kwe-antioxidant enkomishini ngayinye — i-Zǐjuān Hóngchá iba ukukhetha okuqondayo. Ngenkathi kunjalo kubalulekile ukukhumbula: leli tiye liphila “lapha futhi manje” — ukubaluleka kwalo akukho ekuvuthweni, kodwa ekusebeni, futhi isikhathi ngasinye esisha siletha isivuno esisha esinokuhlangana okukhulu kwaleyo “golide” eyiphephuli, okwadalwa ngenxa yayo le-cultivar emangalisayo.
