Isithombe siyisakhiwo sestudiyo esihlanzeke ngendlela emangalisayo futhi esihloselwe ukuphakamisa izigaxa ze-Nelson Sauvin hop zibe izinto zobuhle bezolimo kanye nenhlonipho yokuphuza utshwala. Njengoba ihlelwe ngobunono endaweni emhlophe ecwebile, ama-hops anikezwa umfanekiso ocishe ufane nowesayensi yezitshalo, zonke izikali zekhoni zinikezwe ngemininingwane ebukhali. Umbala wazo oluhlaza ophaphathekile uzihlukanisa namathoni aluhlaza ngokujule avame ukuhlotshaniswa nezinye izinhlobo ze-hop, uzinikeze ukubukeka okuntekenteke, okucishe kube yi-ethereal.

Amacones ngokwawo aboniswa ngendlela yokuthi ukwakheka kwawo kwemvelo kube indawo okugxilwe kuyo. I-bract ngayinye, eyeqa njengezikali zikaphayini noma amacembe embali egoqwe ngendlela eyinkimbinkimbi, ihambisana nakho kokubili ubuthakathaka namandla. Amafomu aqinile, ayindilinga aphakamisa ukuvuthwa esigabeni esilungile sokuvuna, lapho i-lupulin enuka kamnandi ngaphakathi isezingeni layo elizwakalayo. Ukuthungwa okuhle kwama-bracts kugcizelelwa ukukhanya okuthambile, okuqondisayo kwe-studio, okwenza izithunzi ezibuthakathaka phakathi kwezingqimba, okuthuthukisa umuzwa wokujula kwezinhlangothi ezintathu. Lokhu kukhethwa kokukhanyisa kwenza okungaphezu kokudala ukubukeka okuhlanzekile, okuningiliziwe; lidlulisa inhloso, njengokungathi lawa mahops ayizibonelo ezihlolwayo, ezihlolisiswe ngokucophelela ngendima yawo ekukhiqizeni utshwala.

Ingemuva elingathathi hlangothi lisusa noma yikuphi ukuphazamiseka, okuvumela umbukeli ukuthi agxile kumakhoni ngokwawo kuphela. Le ndlela yokwenza kancane iqinisa umuzwa wokuhlanzeka nokunakekela okuhambisana nokuphathwa kwamahops ekhwalithi ephezulu. Ekwenziweni kotshwala, ukulondolozwa kobuqotho be-hop kubaluleke kakhulu, futhi iphrezentheshini engcolile, ehlanzekile lapha ibonisa izimo ezilawulwayo lapho ama-hop agcinwa futhi athuthwa ngaphansi kwawo ukuze agcine amandla awo anuka kamnandi kanye ne-flavour. Ngokuhlukanisa amakhoni ngokumelene nokumhlophe, isithombe siphakamisa kokubili ukunemba kwesayensi nokuzinikela kobuciko, ukuvala igebe phakathi kokulawulwa kwekhwalithi okufana nelebhu kanye nobuciko bokwenza utshwala.

Umuntu angacishe acabange ngephunga elimnandi elizokhishwa la ma-hops uma ekhuhlwa kahle phakathi kweminwe: isixha se-gooseberry, i-lychee, nezikhumba zamagilebhisi ezintsha ezichotshoziwe, ezilukwe ngesithelo esicashile sasendaweni eshisayo namanothi emithi. I-Nelson Sauvin hop igujwa emhlabeni wonke ngenxa yalesi sigxivizo seminwe esinephunga elimnandi, esingaguqula ubhiya ube into efana newayini, ecwebezelayo, futhi eqhuma ngobunkimbinkimbi obuhlukahlukene. Lesi sithombe asithwebuli nje ukubukeka kwabo ngokomzimba kodwa nesithembiso esingaphakathi—ubumnandi obulindele ukuvulwa ngesandla somenzi wotshwala.

Isimo sendawo yesigameko siwukuhlonipha. Ngokukhuphula ama-cones esihlokweni sokuqanjwa okucophelela nokunhle kangaka, isithombe sivuma ngokungagunci indima emaphakathi edlalwa ama-hops ekuphikweni kukabhiya, ikakhulukazi izinhlobo ezikhethekile ezifana ne-Nelson Sauvin ezisondelene kakhulu nobunikazi bobhiya besimanje. Imema umbukeli ukuthi ame kancane futhi acabangele uhambo lwalawa makhoni: kusukela emvelaphi yawo ezisimini ezivundile zaseNew Zealand, ezikhuliswa isimo sezulu esiyingqayizivele nenhlabathi yesiqhingi, kuya ezindaweni eziphuzwayo zotshwala emhlabeni wonke lapho akha khona obhiya abahlukile.

Ekugcineni, lesi sithombe sika-Nelson Sauvin hops akusona nje isifundo sobuhle kodwa isitatimende sokubaluleka nomthelela wawo. Idlulisa inhlonipho ngesithako esichaze kabusha izitayela zokuphisa futhi yagqugquzela abaphisi botshwala abangenakubalwa ukuthi bahlole amaphrofayili anesibindi, afana newayini. Isithombe sima njengokugujwa kwama-hops ngokwawo kanye nesikhumbuzo sokunakekela okucophelelayo okudingekayo ukuze kugcinwe amandla awo aphelele, kuqinisekiswe ukuthi iphayinti ngalinye elitheliwe liphethe uhlamvu olungenakuphikiswa lwalolu hlobo oluyisithonjana.
