Literal meaning
hot sniff / warm sniff / cold sniff
Definition#
Three-stage smelling of the infused leaf in the evaluation cup. Hot (cup about 75 °C) checks whether the aroma is normal and its type. Warm (about 45 °C) judges type and quality. Cold (near room temperature) judges persistence. Each sniff lasts 2–3 s and is repeated once or twice. The 2026 Guangdong Dancong standard uses about 80 °C and 50 °C for lid smelling.
