3.4g in 65ml Yixing, 1 rinse.

I really liked this. Day 1 had no hint of smoke, but a minty tingle in the mouth afterwards.

Day 2 was less minty and a bit of aged smoke taste instead (I think the minty is what I get from fully aged-out smoke). Not smoky as such, and still some mouth tingle. I still liked it.
I’m on day 3 and nearly steeped out, I think.

Seemed fairly energetic, as much as these things affect me (which isn’t much).

I didn’t really pick out any particular flavours as the main thing that stuck out to me was the mouth-tingle, and I’m recovering from a cold so my tastebuds aren’t at their best.

The minty tingle you detected may be what is called ‘cooling’ by pu aficionados. It is a very desirable trait in pu erh IMO :)

Yeah, I go back and forth on whether I want to use ‘terms of art’ or not. Some mouth cooling is mintier than others.
