Type	White
Other names	Mudan White tea Mutan White tea White Peony tea Pai Mu Tan
Origin	Fujian Province, China
Quick description	A fruity tea, similar to Yinzhen but fuller in body and more floral in aroma, yet not as astringent as Shou Mei.

Bai Mudan (Chinese: 白牡丹; pinyin: bái mǔdān; Wade–Giles: pai² mu³-tan¹; lit. 'white peony') is a type of white tea made from plucks each with one leaf shoot and two immediate young leaves (one bud two leaf ratio) of the Camellia sinensis plant.^[1] Bai Mudan is sometimes preferred by white tea drinkers for its fuller flavor and greater potency than the other major type of white tea, Bai Hao Yinzhen. The latter is made purely with leaf shoots, and so it is comparatively softer and more subtle. The typical taste of Bai Mudan is a result of both the processing and the tea plant cultivars employed in the production.
