Getting this from the Sheng Olympics box.
I pulled the whole sample out to brew this one, a tad under 10 grams.
I got out the and gave a rinse and let it sit for a few minutes. I started out with a 5 second steep and did 3 for the big cup. The brew comes out with a nice gold color. The aroma belies a bit of humidity but not overly powerful.
The sips have a little smoky, just the least bit, and a bit of sheng sharpness with a touch of mineral on the front. The front to middle part of the tongue is where this one seems to go. The mineral goes to a sweet finish. It carries through with some camphor and mintiness in there as well. A nice warming tea on a cold Winter evening.

Flavors: Camphor, Mineral, Mint, Smoke, Sweet

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 0 min, 15 sec 9 g 10 OZ / 295 ML

Really like how this one holds on with later steeps. The sweetness surviving throughout the session, after all else disappears.
