Default Quality of leaf with seeds?!

thanks,

heres a pic of the yellow "fuzzy clumps" middle, to the right:http://i11.tinypic.com/712dy6d.jpg

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,http://i12.tinypic.com/6ybyex0.jpg


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:
