chamomile tea is full of stems, brown flowers, and *other* stuff

Pretty much have to sort through this tea carefully to get anything worth brewing. There are lots of stems - some connected to old flowers, and some loose. Some of the flowers were dark brown, they were so old. Even after spending time picking through it, the resulting tea is much weaker than other chamomile teas. I've only sorted through 5% of the bag and already found rocks, a bit of wood, a weed head, and some straw-like matter. Really - it seems cheap, but not if you end up throwing it all away!
