Bai mudan

Bai mudan is a type of Chinese white tea that translates as white peony. The tea comes from Fujian, and it is usually hand-picked in spring. Traditionally, one or two leaves and a bud are plucked, and the tea undergoes minimal processing, which typically only includes air-drying.

White peony is mostly divided into two varieties: lighter and less fermented version from Fuding and a variety from Zhenghe that usually has a slightly fuller body. Both of these teas praised for their subtle sweetness, refreshing flavor, and typical herbaceous and earthy notes.

They also have a light floral and fruity nuances. Bai mudan is slightly stronger than silver needle tea.
