Default Puer brewing

I have been brewing puer a short time and I am interested in how others
brew.
Using gongfu style, I use 3 gr.tea to 4 oz.water. One minute rinse.
First infusion 3 min., second infusion 3:30 min, third infusion 4 min.,
fourth -- about two hours.
I like the flavor of the first, second and third as they are strong.
The fourth is much weaker.
Does this sound right? I have read that brewing times were 30 sec. to
one min. then increasing approx. 30 sec.each additional infusion. For
me this would be a very weak tea. In the end it comes down to
individual tastes but I'd like to hear from veteran brewers.
Please comment.
Cale
