# Zīxī Báichá (资溪白茶)

I-Zīxī Báichá iyitiye eliluhlaza elikhiqizwa ngohlobo lwezihlahla zetiye ezinamaqabunga amhlophe (uhlobo lwe-albino) esifundeni i-Zīxī esifundazweni i-Jiāngxī. Naphezu kwegama elithi “elimhlophe” (白, bái) egameni layo, leli itiye eliluhlaza ngendlela yokucutshungulwa, hhayi itiye elimhlophe (白茶) njengokuhlelwa ngomumo oyisithupha. Lo mkhuba ufana nowe-Ānjí Báichá ([安吉白茶](https://thetea.app/zu/article/anji-baicha)) odumile: amahlumela amancane esihlahla setiye ngesikhathi sokuvuka kwentwasahlobo lapho izinga lokushisa lingaphansi kuka-23 °C athola umbala ophuzi noma omhlophe onjenge-jade, othi unyamalale lapho izinga lokushisa likhuphuka. Yile nkathi yobumhlophe kanye nokuqukethwe okuphezulu okungavamile kwama-amino acid (6–12%, okuphindwe izikhathi ezi-2–3 kunetiye eliluhlaza elijwayelekile) okuletha isimo esiyingqayizivele se-Zīxī Báichá — ubumnandi obukhethekile, ukungabi bikho kobumuncu nobuhle beqabunga obufana ne-jade.

**1. Ukuhlelwa Nokusuka:**

* **Uhlobo:** Itiye eliluhlaza (绿茶, lǜchá), elingavutshelwanga. Lenziwe ngohlobo lwamaqabunga amhlophe (ohlobo lwe-albino) kusetshenziswa ubuchwepheshe obuluhlaza ngokucutshungulwa okuncane (ngaphandle kokusongwa, ngokumiswa okulula nokomiswa). Ngokwendlela yokukhiqiza — lusondele etiyeni eliluhlaza elicutshungulwe kancane (轻发酵绿茶).
* **Isigaba:** Amatiye aluhlaza esimanje asezifundeni zaseChina. Umkhiqizo onokuvikelwa okuphindwe kathathu kwenkomba yezwe: ukuvikelwa kwesigaba sezwe kwendawo (2012, i-State Administration for Quality Supervision), uphawu lokuthengisa olubhalisiwe lwenkomba yezwe (2011, i-State Administration for Trademarks), kanye nokuqinisekiswa kwenkomba yezwe kwezolimo (2019, uMnyango Wezolimo).
* **Umsuka:** I-China, isifundazwe i-Jiāngxī (江西省, Jiāngxī Shěng), umkhandlu wedolobha i-Fǔzhōu (抚州市, Fǔzhōu Shì), isifunda i-Zīxī (资溪县, Zīxī Xiàn). Isifunda sisentshonalanga ye-Wǔyí Shānmài (武夷山脉), lapho kuhlangana khona izimbobo zemifula i-Xìnjiāng ne-Fúhé. Indawo yokukhiqiza ihlanganisa izigodi eziyi-7 namadolobhana (Héchéng, Mǎtóushān, Gāofù, Sōngshí, Wūshí, Gāotián, Shíxià) kanye namahlathi ombuso ayi-5 (Gāofù, Mǎtóushān, Shíxià, Chénfāng, Zhúxī).
* **Izixhumanisi zendawo:** cishe 27°42′ N, 117°01′ E (inkaba yesifunda i-Zīxī). Indawo ewumongo — idolobhana i-Mǎtóushān (马头山镇), umuzi i-Yǒngshèng (永胜村), kanye nehlathi lase-Gāofù (高阜林场) emazingeni aphakeme angama-300–400 m, eduze kwesiqiwi semvelo sikaMasipala i-Mǎtóushān.

**2. Umlando Nokubaluleka Kwamasiko:**

* **Umlando:** Isiko letiye lesifunda i-Zīxī labhalwa ngesikhathi soBukhosi be-Qing: encazelweni ethi “Incazelo Yesifunda i-Zīxī” (《资溪县志》) yangesikhathi sika-Tóngzhì (同治, 1862–1874) kukhulunywa ngetiye lendawo elibizwa nge-“Bái Háo” (白毫, “Uboya Obumhlophe”), elalingeyona yezimpahla zendawo ezibalulekile. Kuchazwa ubuchwepheshe bendabuko: “Ngenyanga yesithathu, ngaphambi kwe-Gǔyǔ, kuqoqwa amahlumela athambile kakhulu — iqabunga elilodwa kanye nenhlumela eyodwa, kubekwe ukuze kunciphe, bese kuthiwa emabhodweni ashisayo, kusongwe ngezandla ezishisayo, komiswe ngamalahle; umgoqo uphatshuze kodwa iphunga nokunambitheka kuhle kakhulu”. Umlando wesimanje we-Zīxī Báichá waqala ngo-2003, lapho isifunda i-Zīxī, sisebenzisa izinsiza zaso zemvelo ezivelele, singenisa impahla yokutshala yohlobo lwamaqabunga amhlophe evela e-Ānjí (Zhèjiāng) futhi samisa amasimu okulinga okuqala angama-150 mǔ (cishe amahektha ayi-10) emzaneni i-Yǒngshèng edolobhaneni i-Mǎtóushān. Izilingo zaphumelela, futhi kwasungulwa “i-Yǒngshèng Demonstration Base for White Tea”. Ngo-2007, kwasungulwa uhlelo lwentsebenziswano “inkampani + inhlanganiselo + umlimi + isizinda”, okwaqinisekisa ukukhula ngokushesha kwemboni. Ngo-2006, itiye lathola umklomelo wegolide wesifundazwe i-Jiāngxī njengetiye elidumile. Ngo-2011–2012, ukuvikelwa okuthathu kombuso kwamiswa. Ngo-2019, uMnyango Wezolimo wanikeza isimo senkomba yezwe kwezolimo. Kuze kube manje, indawo yamasimu idlule ku-50,000 mǔ (ngaphezulu kwamahektha ayi-3,300), kwaqalwa izinhlobo eziyi-12 zetiye elimhlophe eliphilayo, kwatholwa imiklomelo yegolide engaphezu kuka-30 emibukisweni kazwelonke nakwamanye amazwe. Uphawu “Zīxī Báichá” lulinganiswa ngaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-200 zama-yuan futhi lungaphakathi kwamatiye ayikhulu ahamba phambili e-China. I-Zīxī isibe ngesinye sezifunda ezimbalwa lapho imboni yetiye ithathe indlela esukela kokuphelele kuya ekuqashelweni kuzwelonke ngaphansi kweminyaka engamashumi amabili.
* **Igama:** 资溪 (Zīxī) — igama lesifunda, elivela emfuleni i-Zīxī; 白茶 (Báichá) — “itiye elimhlophe”, elibhekise kumbala omhlophe ongavamile wamahlumela amancane ngesikhathi se-albhino. Kubalulekile ukugcizelela: leli akulona itiye elimhlophe njengokuhlelwa (njenge-fújiàn bái háo yín zhēn noma [bái mǔdān](https://thetea.app/zu/article/bai-mudan)), kodwa itiye eliluhlaza elivela ohlotsheni lwamaqabunga amhlophe, elicutshungulwe ngobuchwepheshe obuluhlaza.
* **Ukubaluleka kwamasiko:** I-Zīxī Báichá ibe uphawu lwezomnotho lwesifunda i-Zīxī — esinye sezifunda ezihlanzekile kakhulu kwezemvelo eNkabeni ye-China (izinga lokuhluma kwehlathi lingu-87.2%, inkomba yemvelo — indawo yokuqala phakathi kwezifunda ezingama-586 eNkabeni ye-China kanye nendawo yesi-7 ezweni lonke, ama-ion angemuhle — afinyelela ku-270,000/cm³, okunikeze isifunda igama lesidlaliso elithi “Ibhodlela Lokuphila Lemvelo”). Umkhosi waminyaka yonke wetiye elimhlophe i-Zīxī (kusukela ngo-2014) ubungazwa endaweni ebukekayo yase-Dàjuéshān futhi usube yisenzakalo esibalulekile sezokuvakasha.

**3. Incazelo Yezitshalo Nempahla Eluhlaza:**

* **Uhlobo / I-cultivar:** I-cultivar eyisisekelo yileso sinohlobo lwamaqabunga amhlophe, olwethulwe lusuka e-Ānjí (Zhèjiāng), kanye nezimpawu zendawo eziyizinhlobonhlobo. Ingxenye ebalulekile yamafayela ezitshalo i-stadia albinism (阶段性白化, jiēduàn xìng báihuà): lapho izinga lokushisa lomoya ≤ 23 °C, amahlumela amancane athola umbala omhlophe onjenge-jade, ikhasi leqabunga licishe libe sobala ngenhla emhlophe nemithambo eluhlaza ngokugqamile (叶白脉翠, yè bái mài cuì). Ingxenye engemuva yeqabunga igcwele izinwele ezimhlophe. Isikhathi sokuhluma okusebenzayo — kusukela maphakathi noMashi kuya maphakathi no-Apreli.
* **Ukuvuna:** Ukuvuna kwentwasahlobo — okuwukuphela kwesikhathi sokuthola i-Bái Chá yezinga eliphezulu (ngesikhathi se-albino kuphela). Ukuvuna kuqala maphakathi noMashi kuze kuphele maphakathi no-Apreli. Izinga eliphezulu kakhulu — itiye elivunwe ngaphambi kwe-Qīngmíng (明前茶).
* **Izinga lokuvuna:** Kwezinga eliphakeme kakhulu — inhlumela eyodwa noma inhlumela eneqabunga elilodwa eliqala ukuvuleka. Kwezinga lokuqala — inhlumela enamaqabunga ayi-1 noma ama-2 aqala ukuvuleka. Ubumhlophe nosayizi wenhlumela yizona zinto ezibalulekile zekhwalithi.
* **Izidingo zempahla eluhlaza:** Amahlumela athambile, afanayo anezinga eliphezulu lobumhlophe. Impahla eluhlaza evela esikhathini esifudumele (lapho ikhasi liba luhlaza) inikeza itiye lezinga eliphansi kakhulu.

**4. Indawo Nempawu Zokulima:**

* **Isimo sezulu nendawo:** Isimo sezulu esishisayo esinomswakama se-monsoon. Izinga lokushisa lonyaka eliphakathi nendawo — 16.9 °C, isamba semvula yonyaka — 1929.9 mm, isilinganiso sezinsuku ezininkungu ngonyaka — 88, isilinganiso somswakama wonyaka — 83%. Umehluko obonakalayo wamazinga okushisa emini nasebusuku unomthelela ekunqwabelaneni kwama-amino acid. Indawo isentshonalanga ye-Wǔyí Shānmài — indawo enemagquma amancane anganamandla enemifula nezifudlana eziningi.
* **Ukuphakama kokuhluma:** 300–400 m ngaphezu kogu lolwandle (indawo ewumongo — imithambeka yezintaba yedolobhana i-Mǎtóushān kanye nehlathi lase-Gāofù).
* **Inhlabathi:** Inhlabathi ebomvu enesihlabathi (砂性红壤, shāxìng hóng rǎng), i-pH 4.5–5.6, enokuqukethwe kwezinto eziphilayo ≥ 1.5%, enokungena komoya namanzi okuhle. Amadwala akha inhlabathi — izinsalela ezimuncu zezintaba zentshonalanga ye-Wǔyí.
* **Izici zokulima:** Izinga lokuhluma kwehlathi endaweni ewumongo — 87.2%, okunikeza umthunzi wemvelo, izinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo kanye nesidingo esincane sezibulala-zinambuzane. Ukuqukethwe kwama-ion angemuhle emoyeni kufinyelela phezulu ku-270,000/cm³ — inkomba evame ukuba semahlathini okuqala. Amasimu amaningi aqinisekiswe njengemvelo yokuphila. Ukuze kuqiniswe ubumhlophe bamahlumela, kusetshenziswa ukufakwa komquba oyisisekelo ekwindla nasebusika bokuqala, kanti entwasahlobo kusetshenziswa izondlo ezilinganiselwe ze-nitrogen. Ukuba seduze kwesiqiwi semvelo sombuso i-Mǎtóushān (马头山国家级自然保护区) namahlathi aso angaphazamiseki okushisayo, izinhlobo ezingaphelele zezitshalo nezilwane kwakha isimo sezulu esincane esiyingqayizivele sezivande zetiye — ukukhanya okuphazamisekile, inkungu eqhubekayo nokungabikho kokungcoliswa kwezimboni.

**5. Ubuchwepheshe Bokukhiqiza:**

Ukukhiqizwa kwe-Zīxī Báichá kuhluke ngokuncane futhi kubhekiswe ekulondolozweni okukhulu kobuncane nesimo se-amino acid:

1. **Ukuvuna (鲜叶采摘, xiānyè cǎizhāi):** Ukuvuna ngesandla kwamahlumela amhlophe athambile ngesikhathi se-albino yezigaba.
2. **Ukwendlala / ukunciphisa (摊青, tānqīng):** Amahlumela amasha endlalwa ungqimba oluncane ezingeni lokushisa elingu-20–25 °C amahora ama-2–3 ukuze kukhishwe umswakama ongaphezulu ngobumnene nokulungiselela ukumiswa.
3. **Ukumiswa / “ukubulawa kokuhlaza” (杀青, shāqīng):** Izinga lokushisa 120–150 °C, ubude bemizuzu eyi-6–10. Inhloso — ukungavuleki kwama-enzyme kuyilapho kulondolozwa inani eliphezulu lama-amino acid noboya obumhlophe.
4. **Ukuqondisa nokubumba (理条, lǐtiáo):** Ezingeni lokushisa elingu-80–90 °C emizuzwini engama-25–30. Iqabunga linikezwa umumo ococekile ngaphandle kokusongwa ngamandla — umgomo oyinhloko: “ukungasongwa” (不揉捻, bù róuniǎn), ukuze kulondolozwe ubuqotho bezinwele nesakhiwo samangqamuzana.
5. **Ukomiswa (烘干, hōnggān):** Izinga lokushisa 60–90 °C, ubude bamahora ayi-1.5–2.5. Umswakama wokugcina — ≤ 6.5%. Uboya obumhlophe bulondolozwa ngokugcwele.

*Qaphela:* Umehluko oyinhloko kunamatiye aluhlaza ajwayelekile — ukungabibikho kwesigaba sokusongwa (揉捻). Iqabunga lihlala lendlaleke ngokwemvelo, okulondoloza ubuhle balo obubonakalayo (umumo ofana nophaphe lwe-phoenix) nobuqotho bezinwele besakhiwo.

**6. Izimpawu Zokunambitha:**

* **Isimo seqabunga elomile ngaphandle:** Izingcezu zetiye ezinhle, ezime mpo-zinde noma ezicabalele kancane. Umbala weqabunga elomile — uluhlaza ophaphathekile onombala omhlophe onjenge-jade, sengathi umbozwe isithwathwa esilula (色如玉霜). Uboya obumhlophe bumboza indawo yonke. Umumo ufana necezu le-magnolia noma uphaphe lwe-phoenix (形似玉兰 / 凤羽).
* **Iphunga leqabunga elomile:** Iphunga elihlanzekile nelisha (清香, qīngxiāng) — inothi eyinhloko; iphunga elihle “loboya” elinomthunzi wengulube yommbila (毫香, háoxiāng); kumasampula angcono kakhulu “ngaphambi kwe-Qīngmíng” — ubumnandi obuhle “obufana nenhlumela” (嫩香, nènxiāng).
* **Iphunga lomgoqo:** Lisha, lihlanzekile, linenothi elilula lezimbali kanye nephimbo “loboya” elibonakalayo. Iphunga lihle, alinamandla, livezwa kancane kancane.
* **Ukunambitheka:** Ukusha okukhethekile (鲜爽, xiānshuǎng) — umphumela wokuqukethwe okuphezulu ngokungavamile kwama-amino acid (6–12%); ubumnene, ukugoqa okuminyene (醇厚, chúnhòu) ngaphandle kobumuncu noma ukutheza; ukunambitheka okumnandi okuhlanzekile (甘甜, gāntián), okuvela kancane futhi okuhlala isikhathi eside.
* **Umbala womgoqo:** Umthubi wehansi omnene (鹅黄, éhuáng), uhlanzekile, usobala, unokucwazimula okubonakalayo — omunye wemigoqo ekhanyayo phakathi kwamatiye aluhlaza.
* **Iqabunga letiye eliphansi (iqabunga elenziwe):** Amaqabunga amhlophe anemithambo eluhlaza ngokugqamile (叶白脉翠) — uphawu “olungumkhiqizo” olubonakalayo; athambile, afanayo, aqoqwe “ezinswini”.

**7. Ukwakheka Kwamakhemikhali:**

* **Ama-amino acid (kuhlanganisa ne-L-theanine):** Ukuqukethwe kwama-amino acid akhululekile — 6–12% (kuhlobo olukhethekile ≥ 6.5%), okuphindwe izikhathi ezi-2–3 kunamazinga ajwayelekile etiye eliluhlaza. I-L-theanine — iyona amino acid ehamba phambili — yakha ubumnandi obuyi-“umami” futhi inikeze umphumela omuhle wokuphumula.
* **I-Polyphenol (i-catechin):** Ukuqukethwe kulinganiselwe — kungaphansi kunamatiye aluhlaza ajwayelekile, okuchaza cishe ukungabi bikho ngokuphelele kobumuncu nokutheza. Isilinganiso “ama-amino acid / i-polyphenol” sihambisana kakhulu nama-amino acid — uphawu oluwukuphela kwalo lwezinhlobo zamaqabunga amhlophe.
* **Ama-alkaloid:** Ikhefi, i-theobromine, i-theophylline — ngamanani alinganiselwe.
* **Amavithamini:** I-Vithamini C, amavithamini eqembu B — asempahleni eluhlaza esesimweni esisha sasentwasahlobo.
* **Amaminerali:** I-potassium, i-manganese, i-zinc, i-fluoride — ngamanani ajwayelekile etiye eliluhlaza.
* **I-Chlorophyll:** Ngesikhathi sobumhlophe, ukuqukethwe kwe-chlorophyll kwehla kakhulu (ngakho-ke kuvela umbala omhlophe); njengoba izinga lokushisa likhuphuka, izinga le-chlorophyll liyabuyiselwa futhi iqabunga liba luhlaza.

**8. Izakhiwo Ezinomusa:**

1. **Ukwesekwa okuqinisiwe kokuzivikela komzimba:** Ukuqukethwe okuphezulu ngokungavamile kwama-amino acid — ngokwezinye izilinganiselo, amandla okukhuthaza ukuzivikela komzimba aphindwe kabili kunetiye eliluhlaza elijwayelekile.
2. **Ukuvikelwa kwe-antioxidant:** Ama-catechin nama-amino acid asebenza ngokuhlanganyela, anikeze ukwesekwa okuphelele kwe-antioxidant.
3. **Umphumela omuhle wokuqabula:** Ikhefi kanye nokuqukethwe okuphezulu kwe-L-theanine kudala ukuvuka okulinganayo nokuzolile ngaphandle kokukhathazeka.
4. **Ukwesekwa kokusebenza kwe-lipid ne-carbohydrate:** I-Polyphenol nama-amino acid kunomthelela ohlangene wokulawula emazingeni e-cholesterol ne-glucose.
5. **Umphumela wokuqabula nokwehlisa izinga lokushisa komzimba:** Umuthi wendabuko wase-China ubeka leli tiye njengomkhiqizo “wemvelo epholile” (性清凉), okunconywa lapho kukhona ukushisa kwangaphakathi.
6. **Ukwesekwa kokubona nesikhumba:** I-Vithamini C nama-antioxidant abamba iqhaza ekuvikelweni kokubona nempilo yesikhumba.
7. **Ukwesekwa kwengqondo:** Izinga eliphezulu le-L-theanine linomthelela ekuqwashiseni nasekunciphiseni ukucindezeleka.

*Izexwayiso:* Akunconywa ukuphuza ngaphambi kokudla (izinto ezifana ne-tannin zingacasula ulwelwesi lomgudu). Itiye elisha lingaphuzwa, kunconywa ukuba “livulwe” izinsuku eziyi-10 ukuze kunciphe “ubusha obuluhlaza” (青气). Abesifazane abancelisayo kufanele babekezelele ngokulingene (ikhefi ingadala ukuvuka emntwaneni).

**9. Ukwenza Itiye:**

* **Izinga lokushisa lamanzi:** 85–90 °C. Amanzi ashisayo kakhulu abhubhisa isakhiwo esihle se-amino acid futhi aholele ekulahlekelweni ubumnandi.
* **Inani letiye:** 3 g emanzini angu-150 ml (isilinganiso 1:50).
* **Isitsha:** Ingilazi yeglasi — iyindlela enhle yokubuka ukuvuleka kwamahlumela amhlophe qhwa nombala ojade womgoqo. I-gaiwan yobumba — ingenye indlela esebenza yonke.
* **Inqubo:**
  1. Fudumeza ingilazi noma i-gaiwan ngamanzi abilayo.
  2. Thela itiye (3 g).
  3. Gegcwalisela amanzi (85–90 °C).
  4. Ukucwiliswa kokuqala — imizuzu emi-5 (kwingilazi; e-gaiwan — imizuzwana engama-60–90).
  5. Phuza uze ufike ezingeni elilodwa kwezintathu, bese ugcwalisa amanzi; ukucwilisa okulandelayo ngakunye kuncishiswe ngemizuzwana engama-30.
  6. Itiye elisezingeni elihle likwazi ukumelana nokugcwaliswa oku-4–5.

*Enye indlela (yetiye eligugile):* 10 g wetiye ngomthamo wamanzi, kubiliswe, kuphekwe imizuzu emi-3, uma kunesidingo, kufakwe ushukela we-lollipop bese kupholiswa — indlela yendabuko yokulungiselela umphumela wokwehlisa izinga lokushisa komzimba.

**10. Ukulondolozwa:**

* **Izimo:** Ukupakishwa okuvaliwe (isikhwama se-aluminium esinokuchofoza kokukhipha umoya ngaphakathi kwethini elingachaziwe noma lamathini). Ukuvikelwa ekukhanyeni, emswakameni nasemaphungeni angaphandle.
* **Izinga lokushisa:** 0–5 °C (iqandisi lesithandwe) ukuze kulondolozwe isikhathi eside. Ungawuvuli umphako ususuka esiqandisini ngokushesha — yeka imizuzu eyi-15–20 uze ufinyelele izinga lokushisa lasekhaya. Ungagcini eduze kwemikhiqizo enephunga elinamandla.
* **Isikhathi:** Isikhathi sokuqina — kuze kube yizinyanga eziyi-12 esiqandisini. Ukuze uthole ukunambitheka okuhle — phakathi kwezinyanga ezi-2. Ukuze kulondolozwe isikhathi esifushane (kuze kube yizinyanga ezi-2) kuvumelekile ukugcinwa endaweni epholile emnyameni ezingeni lokushisa lasekhaya.
* **Amandla okuguga:** Itiye eligugile (陈年茶, chénnián chá) — kusukela eminyakeni emi-3 yokukhula ngokwemvelo — lithola iphunga “lomuthi” (药香, yàoxiāng), futhi, ngokwemibono yendabuko, liqinisa izakhiwo zokwehlisa izinga lokushisa komzimba.

**11. Intengo Namanyuvesi:**

* **Izigaba zentengo:** Izinga elikhethekile (明前, amahlumela angawodwa) — kusukela ku-1000 yuan nge-jīn nangaphezulu. Izinga lokuqala — 400–800 yuan. Amagremu amaningi — afinyeleleka kakhulu.
* **Izici zentengo:** Izinga lobumhlophe (iqiniso, uma kumhlophe kakhulu — kubiza kakhulu), isikhathi sokuvuna (ngaphambi noma ngemuva kwe-Qīngmíng), umsuka (indawo ewumongo i-Mǎtóushān vs. emaceleni), ukuqinisekiswa kwezinto eziphilayo, ukuvuna ngesandla vs. ngomshini.
* **Ungawagwema kanjani amanyuvesi:**
  1. **Bheka ukumakwa:** I-Zīxī Báichá yangempela kufanele ibe nokumakwa okuthi “资溪白茶” kanye nenkomba yomkhiqizi ovela esifundeni i-Zīxī kanye nokuba khona kophawu lwenkomba yezwe.
  2. **Hlola isimo sangaphandle:** Izinga eliphakeme langempela — uluhlaza ophaphathekile onesithwathwa esimhlophe, uboya obukhulu, umumo omuhle “wophaphe”. Umbala oluhlaza okotshani nokungabikho koboya — uphawu lokuthi akuveli kuhlobo lwamaqabunga amhlophe.
  3. **Hlola umgoqo:** Umbala kufanele ube mthubi omnene (鹅黄), hhayi uluhlaza ngokugqamile. Ukunambitheka — kumnandi, ngaphandle kobumuncu. Ukunambitheka okubabayo noma okuthezayo — uphawu lwetiye okungelona olohlobo lwe-albino.
  4. **Hlola ingaphansi letiye:** Amaqabunga kufanele abe mhlophe anemithambo eluhlaza (叶白脉翠) — “uphawu lomkhiqizo”, okungenzeki ngetiye eliluhlaza elijwayelekile.
  5. **Lawula intengo:** Itiye elingaphansi kuka-90 yuan nge-jīn, okuthiwa yi-“Zīxī Báichá”, cishe liyisiqilana esivela kwesinye isifunda.

**12. Amaqiniso Athakazelisayo:**

1. **Elimhlophe, kodwa liluhlaza:** I-Zīxī Báichá — esinye sezibonelo ezicacile zokuthi isayensi yezitshalo ingadida kanjani ukuhlelwa: itiye libizwa ngokuthi “elimhlophe” ngokombala wamahlumela, hhayi ngobuchwepheshe; kodwa lenziwe ngobuchwepheshe obuluhlaza futhi ngazo zonke izindinganiso liyitiye eliluhlaza.
2. **Igqama kwezemvelo:** Isifunda i-Zīxī — siyindawo yesi-7 ngokwenkomba yemvelo ezweni lonke lase-China nesoku-1 eNkabeni ye-China. Ukuqukethwe kwama-ion angemuhle emoyeni endaweni ewumongo — kufinyelela ku-270,000/cm³ — kuqhathaniseka nezinkomba zamahlathi angaphazamiseki okushisayo.
3. **Impethu yama-amino acid:** Njengoba ukuqukethwe kwama-amino acid kufinyelela ku-12%, i-Zīxī Báichá ingaphakathi kwamatiye aluhlaza “anenkomba yobumnandi” ephezulu kakhulu — ubumuncu abukho, futhi ubumnandi buzwiwa kusukela ekuphuzeni kokuqala.
4. **I-thermometha yezinto eziphilayo:** Uhlobo lwamaqabunga amhlophe — “yi-thermometha” ephilayo: lapho izinga lokushisa lingaphansi kuka-23 °C amahlumela amhlophe, uma kufudumala — aba luhlaza.

I-Ānjí Báichá ivamise ukuba “nothani” kanye “namaminerali” kancane, i-Zīxī — “inoshukela” futhi “imnene” kakhulu ngenxa yomswakama ophezulu nesimo sezulu esipholile.
