I found a feather in my tea

Hi today I got 100 grams of my favorite tea, in a local shop in Aachen. So I went to prepare the first cup, and for my surprise I found feathers.

Here 2 pictures:





Is it "normal" to find such things, on tea? Seems that it has been for some tine there because it has the aroma of the tea.
I wrote the company to ask about it, I will let you know their replay. Just I think if there are feather, there are can be caca etc.
Thanks we boil the water before having tea eehh

No, it's not normal. Won't kill you though either.

Bring a new meaning to the old English Phrase, I'm spitting featheres!!

It only means that your tea leaves were picked by some Indian bird.

To be honest the rest of that stuff doesn't look like it's ever seen a tea bush either!

Disagree, that looks like some tasty darjeeling.

Ahaha here the ingredient it should have

Ingredients: Green teas from Japan and China, natural flavor, sunflower, rose and cornflower blossoms.

Thanks for the replay they make me smile...

Those are great photos! I wish I could take such good quality close-ups

Maybe it's Avian Flu Tea



It's weak, I know

I've seen "Flugtee" (possible translation: "flight tea") in the supermarket, and always wondered what it meant. Thanks for clearing up that mystery.

I wouldn't get in a flap about it, though.

You didn't let it steep long enough.

Stop stirring.

Yes, its completely normal.. So are the pellets of bird shit.. Is it normal?.. What do you think!!!

Lets try things a little diff.. : I just found a dead mouse in a brand new box of cereal. Is this Normal?

Stop trying to clip my wings.

I wouldn't worry about it. Whole issue seems like a storm... (god no, even I cannot go through with it).

You chicken!

He's just a featherweight!

leave it out!

Did you mean leaf it out?

don't strain yourself!

Was it the loose tea you measure and scoop into a bag yourself?? Only there are live birds that fly around inside the Real store I go to and it's very possible that the feathers dropped into the tea, along with some lucky bird poop too.

Gives it a bit of extra flavor I guess, think I'll stick to my PG teabags!

Pots and kettles, kids. Who has the bird-en of proof here?

sounds like a good argument brewing here

It was loose tea measured and scooped into a bag by a shop worker.

Thanks for developing so interesting discussion I love how passionate is everyone.

Oh we're just having fun during our tea break!

Yes me too, this tea with a hint of poop is really tasteful
Ahahah

This is really a tempest in a teapot. Take the tea back to where you bought it and tell them what happened. Make sure you get the manager or someone of decent rank. At worst, they will say sorry, at best they might throw some free tea your way.

That would be a feather in OP's cap!

Sounds like her refund is in the bag.

If not feathers may fly.

PG-rated thread alert.

So the news is filtering through?

I think it's just coming up to boil.

I think people are just spouting off here.

I think it should be PG-13 rated just because of the caca and poop words, you never know...

Poultry problem really

It's a mug's game really.

Cha right there

Cosy thread this, isn't it?

yup, it's a saucer great entertainment.

...since she already has a feather in her cup.

People are really steamed up about this.

Yep somebody needs to blow the whistle on this tea shop

Why? It's all pretty tame, nobody's boiled over yet.

Just you wait a cupple of minutes.

I'll pot the timer on.

Yes at the end is just for a cup of tea
Maybe as the shop is near this plaza that has pigeons all over, it must be that some how with the air this get inside the tea box, or the tea bag.
Any way the teas from black, fruit and green are amazing, the best I have try.

Well, that may be chicken feed to you but not to other people.

Beak-areful, this is getting too hot to handle.

I'd better fly the coop then!
