Thanks to Tykal for the sample!
6.3g, 100ml duanni, boiling, filtered Brita tap. 2 quick rinses with a few minutes in between. Mixed steep times. Some nice milky aftertaste that disappeared after the 2nd steep, which I had with second rate vodka sauce pizza during lunch, which may or may not be pertinent, perhaps a confounding variable. Dunno. Nice caffeine kick for today, basic woody shou aspects, slight medicinal notes and bitterness at some points. Nothing else really stuck out to me about it. Not a tea to call home about (and to be fair, rarely will a tea to call home about be shou puer), but a decent daily drinker for the price, were it still available.
edit: Hm. The overnight thermos of was more on the boring flat end of the spectrum.
