* gwema amandwangu anesikhunta, ukumuncu, ukukhunta — lokhu akuyona «inothi yezokwelapha», kodwa iphutha lokugcinwa.

**Umgomo omkhulu:** kungcono ukukhetha itiye elinomvelaphi oqondakalayo nephunga elimnandi elihlanzekile, kunetiye «elidala kakhulu» elinomlando ongaqondakali.

**17. Amanzi Nezitsha:**

Ikhwalithi yamanzi nezitsha ibonakala kakhulu etiyeni elihlobene nokumhlophe: liyathamba, futhi noma yikuphi ukunambitheka «okungadingekile» kuvela ngokushesha.

**Amanzi**
* **Amanzi athambe noma anamaminerali amancane** ngokuvamile asebenza kahle kakhulu. Amanzi aqine kakhulu «abhunqa» ubumnandi futhi enza isiphuzo sibe sibi kakhudlwana, kanti amanzi angenawo amaminerali anganikeza «ukungabibikho».

* **Ingilazi** ilula uma ufuna ukubona ukuvuleka kweqabunga nokulawula umbala wesiphuzo.

**Izinto ezincane zobuchwepheshe eziguqula ngempela ukunambitheka**
* shushisa i-gaiwan/ i-teapot kumatiye amhlophe avuthiwe (emasha, ukushisa kumaphakathi);
* ungashiyi itiye «lintanta» emanzini phakathi nokugaywa;
* uma itiye licindezelwe — linike isikhathi sokuhlala futhi ungalicindezeli ngommese ukuze libe uthuli: izimpuphu zihlungwa kabi kakhulu.

**18. Isikhumbuzi Esisheshayo Sokuhlunga:**

Ngezansi — ukulungisa okufushane okusiza ukuthi «ungene ekunambithekeni» ngokushesha ngaphandle kokuhlola okuningi. Yisebenzise njengesiqalo bese ulungisisa nge ndwangu ethize.

**5) Iphutha elivame kakhulu**
Itiye elihlobene nokumhlophe **liyashiswa ngokweqile** (bese kutholakala ubukhazikhazi), noma **amatiye avuthiwe/acindezelwe awashiswa ngokwanele** (bese kutholakala ubukhazikhazi).

**19. Ukunambitha Nokuhlola:**

Uma ufuna ukuqhathanisa amandwangu nokuqonda isifunda/ ubudala, kuyasiza ngezinye izikhathi ukuhlunga itiye elihlobene nokumhlophe «njengasesikhathini sokunambitha».

**Iphrothokholi encane (i-cupping yasekhaya)**
1) Thatha amandwangu amabili ufahlane **ezitsheni ezifanayo** (ama-gaiwan amabili afanayo noma izinkomishi).
2) Sebenzisa amanzi afanayo, umthamo kanye nezinga lokushisa.
3) Enza izigayi ezi-3: ezimfushane (imizuzwana eyi-10-15), ezimaphakathi (imizuzwana eyi-20-30) nezinde (imizuzwana eyi-45-60).
4) Bhala amapharamitha ayi-5: iphunga elimnandi leqabunga elomile, iphunga elimnandi lesiphuzo, ukunambitheka, ukunambitheka kwangemva, umuzwa emzimbeni (ukuminyana/ukuhlanganisa/«usilika»).

**Yini okufanele uyibheke**
* **Ukuhlanzeka:** noma yimaphi amanothi akhuntayo, amuncu, «anothuli» ngokuvamile akhuluma ngezinkinga zokugcinwa noma zezinto zokusetshenziswa.
* **Amandla:** itiye elihle elihlobene nokumhlophe lishintsha kahle ukusuka ekugayweni kuye ekugayweni; ukunambitheka «okuyi-flat» ngokuvamile kuwuphawu lwendwangu engemihle.
* **Ubumnandi nobukhali:** itiye elihlobane nokumhlophe lingase libe nokukhanya, kodwa ubukhali akufanele bube namandla.
* **Ukuthinteka:** emandangwini anamandla kunomuzwa «wamafutha» noma «osilika» — ungakuphambanisi nobukhali.

Iphrothokholi enjalo ayiyishintshi ukuhlolwa kochwepheshe, kodwa ifundisa ngokushesha ukuhlukanisa: izinto zokusetshenziswa, ubuchwepheshe kanye nekhwalithi yokugcinwa.

**20. Uphuzwa Nani Futhi Nini:**

Itiye elihlobene nokumhlophe ngokuvamile lizwakala kahle kakhulu endaweni **ethule** — ngaphandle kwezinongo ezinamandla nokudla okunepakfumu esindayo.

* **Amatinye amhlophe amasha (Xin Cha):** ahamba kahle nezithelo (ipheya, i-apula), amabhisikidi alula, amantongomane, ushizi othambile. Futhi ahamba kahle njenge «tiye lasekuseni» — aphaphama ngokuthamba.
* **Amatinye amhlophe avuthiwe (Lao Cha):** ahambisana kakhulu nezithelo ezomisiwe, okubhakwayo okufudumele, amadesezi anamantongomane, amapapa; ebusika, bavame ukuphuzwa njenge «tiye elifudumezayo». I-Shou Mei ekubilisweni — icishe ibe yi-«compote», ihambisana nokupheka kwasekhaya.
* **Yini ephazamisayo:** izidlo ezibabayo, ugaliki/ u-anyanisi onamandla, izinongo ezikhanyayo kanye namadesezi anoshukela omningi okhilimu — kalula «avalela» iphunga elimnandi elithe thuthuva letiye elihlobene nokumhlophe.

**21. Imibuzo Evamile:**

**Kungani itiye elihlobene nokumhlophe libizwa ngokuthi «mhlophe»?**  
Ngenxa yoboya obumhlophe ezimbalini kanye «nokubukeka» okukhanyayo kwezinto zokusetshenziswa, kanye nangenxa yobuchwepheshe obuthambile (ukubuna nokomiswa ngaphandle kwesinyathelo sokulungiswa kokuluhlaza).

**Ingabe itiye elihlobene nokumhlophe lingabiliswa?**  
Amatinye amasha ezimbali kungcono angabiliswa. Kodwa amatiye amahlamvu navuthiwe amhlophe (ikakhulukazi i-Shou Mei kanye ne-Bai Mu Dan endala) avame ukuvuleka kahle ekubilisweni noma kwi-thermos.

**Ihluke ngani itiye elihlobene nokumhlophe kweliluhlaza?**  
Umaka obalulekile wezobuchwepheshe wetiye eliluhlaza — isigaba **杀青 (shāqīng)** esimisa ama-enzyme bese siqinisa «ukuluhlaza». Etiyeni elihlobene nokumhlophe lesi sigaba asikho ngokuvamile: ukunambitheka kwakhiwa ikakhulukazi ukubuna nokomiswa.

**Ingabe itiye elihlobene nokumhlophe lihlala «lithambile» nge-caffeine?**  
Hhayi njalo. Amatiye ezimbali angase abe namandla okuphaphama impela. Ukuthamba kuvame ukuhlobana nendlela i-caffeine ezwakala ngayo uma ihlanganiswe ne-theanine kanye nephrofayili yonke yesiphuzo.

**Ungaqonda kanjani ukuthi ukuvuthwa «kulungile»?**  
Ukuvuthwa okuhle — yiphunga elimnandi elihlanzekile lezinyosi-notshani/lezithelo ezomisiwe ngaphandle kwesikhunta ne-asidi, isiphuzo esibonakalayo kanye nokunambitheka okuyindilinga.

**Ekuphetheni:**

I-Yueguang Bai ingukubonakaliswa okubunjiwe kwesimo saseYunnan etiyeni elimhlophe, lapho ubuhle obuhlukile beqabunga bubonisa ingqikithi yalesi siphuzo: ukulingana phakathi kwamandla ezinto zokusetshenziswa ezinamahlamvu amakhulu kanye nobumnene bokucutshungulwa kwenyanga. Leli tiye libonakala lixhuma imihlaba emibili — ukuthamba okucabangisisa kwamatiye amhlophe kanye nokujula okugcwele kwendawo yaseYunnan, kunikeza ophuzayo uhambo olusuka ekushayweni okusha kwezimbali nezinyosi lwesiphuzo esincane kuya ekujuleni okunjenge-amber kwamahlamvu avuthiwe.

I-Yueguang Bai ifanele labo abafuna etiyeni elihlobene nokumhlophe hhayi kuphela ukukhanya komoya, kodwa futhi nento engakhula ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Leli yitiye lamalanga akusihlwa amancane nokusa okuhleliwe; yilezo zikhathi lapho ufuna ukuzwa, ukuthi ukukhanya kwenyanga kuguqukela esiphuzweni segolide, kugcwalisa inkomishi ngobumnandi bezithelo kanye nokunambitheka kwangemva okuhlala isikhathi eside, okuhamba njengosilika. Kuwo wonke umphimbo — umfanekiso wezintaba zaseYunnan kanye nalobu buchule obukhethekile obuvumela ukuthi kugcinwe eqabungeni uboya obusiliva bomoya opholile wasebusuku, kanye nomphefumulo ofudumele wosuku lwelanga.
