Often when doing pu’er in such short infusions, I throw out the first steeping. This gives the pu’er a little more time to open up (or wake up! these sleeping beauties have been waiting years for their “prince” to come along…). It might seem like a sacrifice, but the first wash can be really helpful. That’s probably why the second infusion spoke more to your soul. The second infusion was a much better picture of what this tea’s personality really is.
Yes…I should have mentioned I actually tossed the FIRST first infusion…sorry…lol…
