If I found some of this stuff in my loss leaf teas like greens and such I would not like it. See, with puerh you are not only brewing with boiling water but also rinsing it, the two of these combined should kill any harmful bacteria and whatnot. With greens and stuff you dont use a high enough temp to kill off any bacteria.

Yes I would think differnetly. I excuse the "suprises" more found in Puerh because of differences in processing. However, if I ever found a human tooth in my DHP I would be pissed!
Don't always believe what you think!

Wow, I have no idea what that is! The description says Black Tea, but the photo seems to show some green parts like an oolong or a light darjeeling. It doesn't look like shu puerh, but I suppose it could be a sheng puerh, but I can't imagine why anyone would call that a black tea. Is there anyone there who can provide guidance about brewing? The good news is that it doesn't seem like something that would have strange stuff in it ... no rats' tails or insect bits!
It may be time to experiment.
