# Yāntái chá (烟台茶)

**I-Yantai Cha** (*Yāntái chá*, 烟台茶) — igama eliyisambulela letiye lesifunda sedolobha i-Yantai (烟台市) enhlonhlweni ye-Shandong, esifundazweni i-Shandong. Leli gama liyisibizo sendawo esimsulwa kanye nokuthi «cha» okujwayelekile, ngaphandle kokucacisa isigaba: lihlanganisa itiye lawo wonke umkhakha wesifunda, kusukela ezifundeni eziseningizimu kuya esifundeni esiyisiqhingi sase-Changdao. Izidingo zomkhiqizo zihlukanisa izinhlobo ezintathu — itiye eliyisicaba, elisontekile kanye nelinjengenalithi; ngokubukeka zonke ezintathu ziluhlaza, kodwa isigaba asiqanjwanga embhalweni. Indawo ilele phakathi kuka-36°16′ no-38°23′ enyakatho ye-latitude — lokhu kungenye yezindawo ezisenyakatho kakhulu zokutshala itiye e-China. Leli gama labhaliswa njengophawu lwezolimo lwendawo ngo-2021, kwathi ngo-2025 laqashelwa njengomkhiqizo onophawu lwendawo.

**1. Ukuhlukaniswa kanye Nomdabu:**

* **Uhlobo:** Isigaba asiqanjwanga ezidingweni zomkhiqizo. Izinhlobo ezintathu ezichaziwe — itiye eliyisicaba (扁形茶), elisontekile (卷曲形茶) kanye nelinjengenalithi (针形茶) — ziluhlaza okwesabisele, ezimpunga eziluhlaza noma eziluhlaza, ezinomphunga oluhlaza, okusho ukuthi ngokubukeka lokhu kuyitiye eliluhlaza (绿茶, *lǜchá*). Akukho sigaba mayelana nobuchwepheshe obungaqinisekisa isigaba embhalweni.
* **Isigaba:** Isambulela sesifunda; itiye lasenyakatho ye-China, elavela ohlelweni «Itiye laseNingizimu — liya eNyakatho» (南茶北引, *nán chá běi yǐn*).
* **Umdabu:** I-China, isifundazwe i-Shandong (山东, *Shāndōng*), isifunda sedolobha i-Yantai (烟台, *Yāntái*).
* **Indawo evikelwe:** Izifunda eziyishumi nanhlanu, amadolobha amancane kanye nezindawo ezikhethekile zesifunda: izifunda i-Zhifu (芝罘), i-Laishan (莱山), i-Fushan (福山), i-Muping (牟平) kanye ne-Penglai (蓬莱), indawo yokuthuthukisa ezomnotho, indawo yobuchwepheshe obuphezulu, amadolobha i-Longkou (龙口), i-Laizhou (莱州), i-Zhaoyuan (招远), i-Qixia (栖霞), i-Laiyang (莱阳) kanye ne-Haiyang (海阳), isifunda sase-Changdao (长岛) kanye nesiqiwi semvelo sase-Kunyushan (昆嵛山). Kulezi zindawo kunezindawo eziyikhulu namashumi amahlanu nane, amadolobhana kanye namakomidi emigwaqo.
* **Izixhumanisi zendawo:** 119°34′–121°57′ empumalanga longitude kanye no-36°16′–38°23′ enyakatho latitude.

**2. Umlando kanye Nokubaluleka Kwamasiko:**

* **Umlando:**
    * **Inganekwane ngetiye elidala.** Izincazelo zendawo zilandisa umlando wetiye e-Yantai kusukela ekupheleni kwe-Ningizimu Song — ekuqaleni kwe-Yuan. Ayikho imibhalo engakuqinisekisa lokhu emithonjeni etholakele.
    * **1966.** Ngokwe-«Yantai Forestry Chronicle» (烟台林业志) ngokulandiswa kabusha kwezincazelo zendawo, ukulethwa kwetiye enyakatho kwaqala ngo-1966; imbewu yayilethwa ivela e-Anhui nase-Zhejiang.
    * **1978.** Ukuphakama kokukhiqiza kwalezi zikhathi — 132 450 kg. Ezinye izincwadi zendawo, zicaphuna i-chronicle efanayo, zinikeza okuhlukile: ukutshala okuphumelelayo kokuhlola ngoMeyi 1963 kanye nokuphakama ngo-1977 — 187 750 kg. Angizange ngikuxazulule lokhu kwehluka.
    * **1985.** Kwakusele cishe ama-mu angamakhulu ayisithupha kuphela amasimu etiye — umzamo wacishe waphela nya.
    * **2004.** Kwaqala ukuvuselelwa okubanzi kwetiye eliluhlaza; izifunda eziyinhloko — i-Haiyang, i-Laiyang, i-Penglai, i-Muping ne-Laizhou. Ngokwemininingwane yendawo, i-Haiyang ithatha cishe amaphesenti angamashumi ayisishiyagalombili omhlaba.
    * **2021.** UMnyango Wezolimo wafaka i-Yantai Cha ohlwini lokuqala lwezimpawu zezolimo zendawo zango-2021 (inombolo AGI03358).
    * **2025.** Isimemezelo sikaHulumeni Wezobunini sika-646 saqashela i-Yantai Cha njengomkhiqizo onophawu lwendawo. Umfakisicelo — Inhlangano Yetiye Yedolobha lase-Yantai (烟台市茶叶学会).
* **Igama:** «Yantai» (烟台) — igama ledolobha, ngokwezwi nezwi «umbhoshongo wentuthu»; «cha» (茶) — itiye.
* **Ukubaluleka kwamasiko:** Itiye lapha lincane futhi lisekelwe esithombeni setiye lasolwandle lasenyakatho. Izidingo zomkhiqizo ziqinisa ifomula yokubukeka — «ukuhlaza okumnyama okunjenge-jade, umphunga onjengomhluzi wamabele, iphunga likabhontshisi» (墨玉绿、小米汤、豆子香).

**3. Incazelo Yezitshalo Kanye Nempahla Eluhlaza:**

* **Izinhlobo / Ama-cultivar:** Ezidingweni zomkhiqizo uhlobo lubizwa ngokumane kuthiwe «itiye lase-Yantai». Imithombo yezindaba yendawo ibhala ngohlobo lokuqala olwakhuliswa e-Yantai — i-Běichá 1 (北茶1号, *Běichá 1*): ngokwencazelo yayo, lolu hlobo lwatholakala ku-Fuding dabai kanye nenani labantu lase-Longjing, lwafakwa kurejista kahulumeni yezinhlobo ngo-2019 futhi lubekezelela isithwathwa kuze kufike ku--18 °C. Lokhu kokugcina kungamazwi ezincazelo zendawo; angizange ngiyibone imivivinyo.
* **Ukuvuna:** Ukukha ngesandla kuphela (人工采摘). Azikho izinsuku ezidingweni.
* **Izinga lokukha:** Alikho ezidingweni.
* **Izidingo zempahla eluhlaza:** Umdabu ovela endaweni evikelwe. Izidingo zibeka nokunakekelwa: umquba ophilayo, ithani elilodwa nge-mu, ngaphambi kokutshala izithombo (embhalweni kubhalwe «移摘», ngokomqondo — ukudlulisela); umquba okhethekile wetiye, amathani ayisithelo nge-mu, ebusika; ukunisela ngokudonsa kuphela, izikhathi eziyi-10–15 ngesizini; ukuthenwa kokwakha ngemva kokutshala kanye nokuthenwa kwaminyaka yonke ngokwesimo sesihlahla; ukwelashwa ngomuthi we-lime-sulphur.

**4. I-Terroir Kanye Nezici Zokutshala:**

* **Isifunda:** Inyakatho enhlonhlweni ye-Shandong, ugu lolwandle; indawo enwebeka ngaphezu kwamadigri amabili e-latitude — kusukela e-Haiyang eningizimu kuya eziqhingini zase-Changdao enyakatho.
* **Isimo sezulu:** Izincazelo zendawo zisibiza ngokuthi isolwandle — nobusika obufudumele nehlobo elipholile ngokwezindinganiso zasenyakatho — futhi zigcizelela umehluko omkhulu wamazinga okushisa emini nasebusuku. Ayikho imininingwane eqondile yesimo sezulu emithonjeni etholakele.
* **Ubude bendawo:** Akubaluliwe ezidingweni.
* **Umhlabathi:** i-pH kusukela ku-5,6 kuya ku-7,5, izinto eziphilayo ngokwesilinganiso ziyi-1,26 %, inhlabathi engaphansi ikhishwa kahle amanzi. Izidingo zibhala phansi i-phosphorus, i-potassium, i-calcium, i-magnesium, i-iron, i-zinc ne-selenium emhlabathini, ngaphandle kwamanani.

**5. Ubuchwepheshe Bokukhiqiza:**

Asikho isigaba sobuchwepheshe ezidingweni zomkhiqizo — ukubukeka kwezinhlobo ezintathu kuphela. Imithombo yezindaba yendawo ichaza ukuthoswa ngesandla ku-180–200 °C, okuthatha imizuzu engaphezu kwamashumi amane, nokuphuma cishe amaliang amabili etiye elomile ngejin elilodwa lamaqabunga amasha; ukuthi lokhu kubhekise kuluphi uhlobo, akucacisiwe.

Ngetiye eliluhlaza, okuyilona lonke izinhlobo ezintathu ezibonakala ziyilo, uhlelo olujwayelekile lwesigaba lumile kanje: ukubhoca (摊放, *tānfàng*), ukulungisa (杀青, *shāqīng*), ukubunjwa — ngokucindezela ebhodweni ngetiye eliyisicaba, ngokusonteka ngetiye elisontekile, ngokuhlela ngetiye elinjengenalithi, — kanye nokomisa (干燥, *gānzào*). Lolu wuhlelo olujwayelekile lwesigaba, hhayi incazelo yobuchwepheshe be-Yantai Cha.

**6. Izici Zokuzwa Ngezitho Zomzimba:**

Ifomula ejwayelekile yezidingo: iqabunga liwugqinsi, iphunga liphezulu, ukunambitheka kugcwele, itiye limelana nokuphindwa kaningi (叶片厚、香气高、滋味浓、耐冲泡).

* **Ukubukeka kweqabunga elomile:**
    * Itiye eliyisicaba — isicaba futhi siqondile, bushelelezi futhi busha, buluhlaza okotshani (扁平挺直、光滑鲜润、色泽翠绿).

| Umlotha ophelele | hhayi ngaphezu kwe-7 g/100 g |
| Izinto ezikhiphekayo | hhayi ngaphansi kwama-37 % |
| Imvuthuluka nothuli | hhayi ngaphezu kwe-0,5 % |
| Ama-polyphenol etiye | hhayi ngaphansi kwama-14 % |
| Ama-amino acid akhululekile (esisindweni esomile) | hhayi ngaphansi kwama-4 % |
| I-caffeine | hhayi ngaphansi kwe-2 mg/kg (njengoba kubhalwe embhalweni) |

Lezi yizindlela zokuvumela, hhayi ukwakheka okukaliwe. Izinga le-caffeine libhalwe ngama-milligrams ngekhilogremu — ngetiye lokhu kuyinani elincane ngokungavamile, futhi iyunithi mhlawumbe ibhalwe ngephutha; ngiliveza njengoba linjalo. Izincazelo zendawo zigomela ukuthi ama-amino acid nezinto ezikhiphekayo etiyeni lase-Yantai miningi kunasematiyeni aseningizimu, kodwa angizange ngiyibone imininingwane yokuqhathanisa enendlela yokwenza.

**8. Izakhiwo Eziwusizo:**

Ayikho imininingwane eqinisekisiwe ngomphumela waleli tiye ngqo.

**9. Ukuphisa:**

Umkhuba wesigaba setiye eliluhlaza: ngokubukeka zonke izinhlobo ezintathu ziluhlaza.

* **Izinga lokushisa lamanzi:** 80–85 °C; ngetiye elisontekile eliminyene — kuze kufike ku-90 °C.
* **Ubuningi betiye:** 3 g nge-150 ml.
* **Izitsha:** Ingilazi yegilazi ngetiye eliyisicaba nelinjengenalithi, i-gaiwan emhlophe ngetiye elisontekile.
* **Inqubo:**
    1. Fudumeza izitsha.
    2. Faka itiye bese uthela amanzi ngasodongeni.
    3. Umphunga wokuqala — imizuzwana engama-40–60.
    4. Phuza, ushiya ingxenye yomphunga.
    5. Thela amanzi futhi.
    6. Ukuphindaphinda amahlandla amathathu kuya kwamane: izidingo zigcizelela ukuthi itiye limelana nokuphindwa kaningi.

**10. Ukugcinwa:**

Umkhuba wesigaba setiye eliluhlaza. Emaphaketheni avaliwe, efrijini ngo-0–5 °C, ngaphandle kokukhanya, umswakama namaphunga angaphandle. Kungcono ukuphuzwa phakathi nonyaka.

**11. Intengo Kanye Nemikhiqizo Yomgunyathi:**

Ayikho imininingwane ngezintengo emithonjeni etholakele.

* **Ungayigwema kanjani imikhiqizo yomgunyathi:**
    * Bheka uphawu lwendawo; igama eliyisambulela alisho uhlobo, ngakho bheka ukuthi yiluphi uhlobo olusephaketheni.
    * Qinisekisa ukuthi umkhiqizi ukwenye yezindawo eziyishumi nanhlanu zesifunda sase-Yantai.
    * Qhathanisa ukubukeka nezidingo: eliyisicaba — luhlaza okotshani futhi bushelelezi, elisontekile — luhlaza okompunga kunobumba, elinjengenalithi — liqondile, elinoboya obumhlophe.

**12. Amaqiniso Athokozisayo:**
