i have no idea whether bobbing the tea bag up and down actually does anything but it's nice to feel like i'm contributing in some way

You are, whether you’re bouncing it up and down or squishing it with a spoon.  Doing those things releases more of the tannins (they make things bitter) found in conventional white, green, and black teas, and more of the herby goodness if you’re drinking herb tea.
