Some of the raw materials for pu'er are processed in pretty rustic environs in the mountain villages. I imagine it's a chicken feather from the household chickens!

I found a seed in my 1997 Heng Li Chang Bulang from EoT yesterday. My first discovery in a pu. :-)

Bought some aged sheng nuggets here in HK that were full of long hairs. Horrible.

In theory, the QS was created to avoid that, right?

My favorite finds are a lump of charcoal, pieces of corn (or maybe some other kind of seed), and a whole green beetle the size of a small coin.

I actually have a small collection of little rocks/sticks/seeds/stings and things I've found :lol:

I found a black pubic hair in a sheng sample and drew a line with that one, in the trash the sample went.
