Direct recommendation: skip agitation entirely and pour immediately after filling.
Applies to: Honey Orchid Ridge 2025 Mi Lan Xiang / Phoenix dancong oolong in a setup close to porcelain gaiwan.

Applies to: Honey Orchid Ridge 2025 Mi Lan Xiang / Phoenix dancong oolong in a setup close to porcelain gaiwan.
Evidence: firsthand use of a comparable Phoenix dancong oolong with similar parameters.
