# Cuì Luán Wūlóng (翠巒烏龍)

I-Cuì Luán Wūlóng («I-Ulun Leziqongo Eziyigugu Eliluhlaza») — ngolunye lwama-Ulun aseThayiwani aphakeme kakhulu ahlonishwayo, akhula emithambekeni esenyakatho yezintaba zaseLi Shan (梨山, Lí Shān) eziphakeme ngamamitha ayi-1800–2200. Lena yindawo encane ngaphakathi kwesifunda sase-Li Shan, kodwa inesimo sezulu sayo esiyingqayizivele nedumela: i-Cuì Luán ivame ukuhlukaniswa ibe yisigaba esihlukile emiqhudelwaneni futhi yaziswa ngenxa yobumsulwa bayo obupholile obukhethekile bamakha. Kumaqoqo ayizingcweti eziphakeme zaseThayiwani, i-Cuì Luán ingelinye ‘lamatshe ayigugu amathathu aseLi Shan’ kanye ne-Fushoushan (福壽山) ne-Huagan ([華崗](https://thetea.app/zu/article/hua-gang-wulong)).

**2. Umlando Nokubaluleka Kwamasiko:**

- **Umlando:** Njengamanye amatiye aseLi Shan, i-Cuì Luán yaqala ukusetshenziswa ngawo-1980, lapho abalimi beqhubekela phambili ezintabeni befuna indawo ephelele. Indawo yase-Cuì Luán yadonsa ukunaka ngenxa yokubheka kwayo enyakatho: ukukhanya okuhlakazekile namazinga okushisa aphansi kwakha izimo lapho iqabunga likhula kancane futhi liqongelela ama-amino acid amaningi ukwedlula emithambekeni eseningizimu yokuphakama okufanayo.
  Ngeminyaka yawo-2000, i-Cuì Luán yayisizinzile ‘njengophawu’ oluzimele ngaphakathi kweLi Shan — ngenani layo eliphakeme kanye nokuba khona njalo emiqhudelwaneni yetiye yaseThayiwani.
- **Igama:**
  - «Cuì» (翠) — oluhlaza okotshani, oluhlaza okwe-jade.
  - «Luán» (巒) — iziqongo zezintaba, ukhahlamba.
  - «Iziqongo Eziyigugu Eliluhlaza» — incazelo yobunkondlo yendawo: iziqongo zezintaba eziluhlaza, ezisongwe yinkungu.
- **Ukubaluleka kwamasiko:** I-Cuì Luán — igama elikhulunywa ngabalwazi betiye baseThayiwani ngendlela efanayo ne-Fushoushan ne-Da Yu Ling. Yitiye ‘labangaphakathi’: alaziwa kangako emphakathini jikelele kune-Alishan, kodwa liyaziswa ngabaqoqi ngenxa yendawo ekhethekile encane.

**4. Indawo (Terroir) Nezici Zokutshalwa:**

- **Ukwakheka komhlaba:** Imithambeka esenyakatho yezintaba zaseLi Shan. Amasimu amawenge, avame ukuba amatshe, emigqeni emincane yomhlabathi phakathi kwamatshe.
- **Ukuphakama:** 1800–2200 m — ngaphezulu kunamatiye amaningi ase-Alishan (1000–1600 m), futhi kuqhathaniseka ne-Fushoushan (~2600 m) ne-Huagan (~2300 m).
- **Inhlabathi:** Inhlabathi yezintaba, enezinto eziphilayo eziphezulu kanye namaminerali. Ukuhamba kahle kwamanzi emhlabathini emithambekeni eyehlelayo.
- **Isimo sezulu:** Kubandayo ezintabeni. Izinga lokushisa lonyaka eliphakathi nendawo 14–16°C. Umehluko wobusuku nemini 10–15°C. Umswakama 80–90%. **Inkungu — cishe nsuku zonke**, ikakhulukazi ekuseni nakusihlwa. Ebusika — kungenzeka iqhwa.
- **Ukubheka enyakatho:** Umehluko obalulekile we-Cuì Luán kwezinye izindawo ezincane zaseLi Shan. Imithambeka esenyakatho ithola ilanga eliqondile elincane → ukukhula okunensayo nakakhulu → okuqukethwe ama-amino acid aphakeme nakakhulu → itiye elimnandi nelithambile nakakhulu. Leli ‘khaza lasenyakatho’ lakha umlingiswa ‘oyikristalu’ we-Cuì Luán.
- **Imikhawulo:** Indawo yomhlaba efanele itiye incane kakhulu. Ukufinyelela kwamanye amasimu — ngezindlela zezintaba kuphela. Ukukhiqizwa — kunomkhawulo.
