Black dots on my tea leaves?

I just made myself some yellow Guizhou Chinese tea granpa style, and noticed some leaves have black dots on it, one leaf has a lot of them and few others have some dots too. Is that normal? Tea still tastes normal, am I not storing it right?

Here is a picture of the leaf: https://postimg.cc/gallery/FFX8Pj6

Is it a bug-bitten tea by any chance?

I thought the same thing that it might be bug-bitten, but on the website I see no info about it being bug bitten

I posted it to r/tea IRC and guys are saying it’s bug bitten for sure and it is actually a good thing because there weren’t used too much pesticides on this tea :)
As long it is tasty, it’s good I guess :)

That’s amazing! It tastes good! I mean I wasn’t worried that it would harm me, I was just curious. Also, there is tea IRC?

Oh yeah, thank you so much!
