The bowl changes
温度
The first hot sip and the final cooler sip do not have to feel identical. Taking your time to notice the change is a small tasting experiment.
What to notice
Let a hot spoonful cool enough to be comfortable. There is no prize for burning your mouth.
Try it with your next bowl
Describe the aroma at the beginning, halfway through and near the end. Treat your notes as observations, not universal rules.
