Shueili Township Farmers' Association 水里鄉農會

南投縣水里鄉，隸屬南投三大青梅產區之一，同時也是小葉種紅茶的主要產地。因此我們以「問」為品牌，希望能告訴您南投縣水里鄉有水果的故鄉之美稱，主要農產品以青梅、紅茶、黑紫玉葡萄為主，其中多項農產品更連續多年榮獲行政院農委會百大精品獎之殊榮。

水里舊稱「水裡坑」，位居新中橫公路起點，因毗鄰水社（日月潭舊稱）而得名。鄉內主要作物以梅子、香蕉、柳丁、芭樂、龍眼、荔枝、臍橙、葡萄等為大宗，因而有「水果故鄉」之美稱，尤以青梅、小葉種紅茶與黑紫玉葡萄等最具知名。

水里鄉隸屬南投三大青梅產區之一，知名度雖不如信義鄉，但因鄉內梅樹大多改良為矮樹品種以便採收，也因此更方便遊客近距離欣賞拍照，故成為部落客所熱愛的「賞梅秘境」。

由於青梅擁有「一月賞梅、四月採梅」的特質，梅樹在不同季節展現不同的風情。產季初期的青梅熟度較低，適合做脆梅；清明之後青梅熟度較高、風味鮮明，適合做Q梅、梅酒或梅醋。產期初期青梅梅果小顏色較青，後期果實大但顏色些微轉黃。水里鄉農會依據青梅不同產期之特性推出系列商品，讓您品味不同的酸甜與青澀的滋味。

Shueili Township in Nantou County, one of the three major plum-producing areas in Nantou, is also a primary production site for small-leaf black tea. Therefore, we chose "Wen" as our brand name, hoping to convey that Shueili Township in Nantou County is renowned as the hometown of fruits. Its main agricultural products include plums, black tea, and black-purple jade grapes, many of which have won the prestigious Top 100 Agricultural Products Award from the Council of Agriculture.

Shueili was formerly known as "Shueilikeng" and is located at the starting point of the New Central Cross-Island Highway. It got its name because it is adjacent to Shuishe (the old name for Sun Moon Lake). The main crops in the area include plums, bananas, oranges, guavas, longans, lychees, navel oranges, and grapes, earning it the nickname "Hometown of Fruits." It is particularly famous for its green plums, small-leaf variety black tea, and black-purple jade grapes.

Shueili Township is one of the three major green plum production areas in Nantou. Although it is not as well-known as Sinyi Township, most of the plum trees in the area have been improved to dwarf varieties for easier harvesting. This also makes it more convenient for tourists to appreciate and take photos up close, turning it into a "secret plum-viewing paradise" loved by bloggers.

Due to the characteristic of "admiring plums in January and harvesting them in April," plum trees exhibit different charms in different seasons. Early in the season, the plums are less ripe and suitable for making crunchy plums; after the Qingming Festival, the plums are more ripe and flavorful, making them suitable for Q plums, plum wine, or plum vinegar. In the early season, the plums are small and green, while in the later season, the fruits are larger but slightly yellow. The Shueili Township Farmers' Association has launched a series of products based on the different harvest periods of green plums, allowing you to savor the various sweet and sour flavors.
