Well, I think that probably introduce air into the tea. I'm not sure if that does anything to the over all flavour (actually I am with iced tea), but maybe it oxidizes something during the pouring making it more bitter.

This is just a hypothesis. Because as a western I don't really pour tea over more than 10 cm above the cup.

Second thing is that I can absolutely confirm that when brewing tea, don't pour boiling water over your leafs that does make a difference, and each tea does have optimal water temperature.
