In Guangdong's warm, humid climate, tiny bamboo insects can make their home in the husk, nibbling the husk and cotton paper wrapper while leaving the tea itself untouched. What they leave behind is a fine powder, seen only on certain teas and more often on aged ones. It is harmless to hygiene; a few strokes with a clean toothbrush or soft brush before brewing is all it takes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTea oil spots: yellowish spots sometimes appear; they come from the tea's natural oils and are not a defect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorn wrapper: the cotton paper may pick up small tears or holes during storage and handling.
