What we found so far to Lipton Green Tea foreign particle claim

EXPERIMENT:
First we opened two tea bags from another vendor. First (1) Green Tea with Lemon and next (2) Green Tea with Pomegranate. And we examined both tea bags and it's content.
Then we conducted a  simple experiment first to see with another Lemon Green Tea vendor's tea bag to verify Unilever's claim what was seen in the video was the lemon particles. Did those lemon particles got dissolved in hot water or not?

OBSERVATIONS:

Please see the  (1) Green Tea with Lemon, and (2) Green Tea with Pomegranate

 
                               (1) Green Tea with Lemon
(2) Green tea with Pomegranate
We looked for foreign particles with first (1) Green Tea with Lemon. 
Then we opened another tea bag (2) Green Tea with Pomegranate.


We put the lime pieces which looks like a tiny foreign object. And pour hot water and stir it well. Then kept for a while to see any changes as well.
The camera lens got fogged with hot water. This is the lemon particles from the tea bag which looks like tiny some foreign object.



These lemon particles did not get dissolved in hot water as seen of these pictures


(1) Green Tea With Lemon - Could not find any suspicious items.
(2) Green Tea with Pomegranate - Content appeared as seen above little moist. Unfortunately we found a small white looking worm or similar object. It got crushed in our hand and was slimy. Need more experiments to prove what we found in that tea bag since we crushed it before the experiment was done.
The lemon pieces were still visible after thoroughly siring in hot water.

OUR CONCLUSION WITH THIS SIMPLE EXPERIMENT:
(Please Note: This was not conducted on Lipton Tea bags.)
a) The experimented, Green Tea with Lemon Tea bag was clear of any suspicious objects. Although we were wondering of the content that was there?
b) The Green Tea bag with Pomegranate definitely gave us a reason to conduct this experiment on other products that are in the market since we found a slimy object which got crushed in our hands before we determine the definition of the object.
c) The Lemon particles on hot water did not get dissolved.


CONCLUSION by Unilever:
 The Lemon particles got dissolved in the water.

At this time only conclusion we have is Unilever's claim that the lemon particles get dissolved in hot water is false. 

If you haven't seen the claim and the video of the consumer and Unilever's Statement with video please see the article below.

Lipton Lemon Green Tea found gratuitous objects?http://socialteav.blogspot.com/2016/02/lipton-green-tea-found-gratuitous.html


P.S. At this time we chose to keep the experimented tea bag vendor's name confidential since we have some troublesome findings.
