I'm just taking a guess here but I'd imagine they are NOT tea seeds
nor pollen. Tea seeds are actually quite large like a small marble and
tan/brown in color and there really wouldn't be "pollen clumps" at
least as far as I know. I have a tea tree/bush that I've been growing
for some time now from seed.

I have no idea what you've got there... but I'm not sure of the
quality, it sounds a little strange to me especially for BLC.

thanks,

heres a pic of the yellow "fuzzy clumps" middle, to the right:

as for the 'seeds' i'll get a pic of them infused, they look "better" -
sort of like peas on a string, but small ~1mm.(theyre plant not animal
of some sort, not larvae, not eggs).
heres a brown one, middle- the oblongated light brown thing,

That is some strange BLC imo. I'm not sure about the "seed" pic, I
don't see it. I see what appears to be a tightly rolled leaf in a
oblong manner in the middle (a little up and to the right) definitely
not a camellia seed. The "pollen" could be an accumulation of the fine
hairs found on BLC, or it really could be pollen I guess. Camellia
sinensis does flower and there is pollen, but I guess I just don't
think that would be it. here is a quick link I just found with a photo
of real tea seeds:

It looks like some kind of stem to me or perhaps you have some bottom
of the bag, really old BLC thrown in for added weight in your order
there. Appears to be all different kinds of BLC tea leaves in there;
old and new.
