午後山嵐雲霧飄渺，彷彿置身如詩畫般的仙境。
陽光透過水氣的折射，散出柔和的漫射光，茶樹生長緩慢，葉肥厚Q柔，茶湯柔軟、香氣清新淡雅；茶湯蜜黃帶綠。
奇萊山茶區於高海拔之奇萊地區原始森林，海拔高度平均2100米，是高山茶的茶葉產區，終年低溫、雲霧繚繞，水氣含量豐富，是孕育高山茶的優良環境。
平均日照短，讓高山茶樹芽葉所含兒茶素類等苦澀成分降低，而茶葉胺酸及可溶氮等對甘味有貢獻之成分含量相對提高。高山梯田、原始林環繞，土壤中有機質含量高，最適合作高山茶有機栽培。其外型緊結厚實，氣味香醇，茶湯水色明亮，清徹而不混濁。

Mount Qilai is a lightly oxidized high-elevation Taiwanese oolong. It is named after the mountain where it's grown, its peak sitting over 3,000 meters above sea level.
High-mountain teas are highly regarded locally. Teas grown at this elevation receive short sun exposure followed by misty afternoons and cool evenings – together these factors slow down tea plant growth thereby concentrating their aromatic compounds. Constant humidity from the cloud cover produces a tea with vibrance and sweetness, and less bitter astringency.
This oolong tea is fragrant and present with fleshy aromatics in white florals and pome fruits. It stands up to multiple brews and offers a seductive silky long finish.
