It looks sort of like tea scale. This is what I read about it:

Tea Scale shows up as tiny brown spots on both sides of the leaves. Use an insecticidal soap solution during the summer or light dormant oil in the winter for control. Tea scale is common in nurseries that grow camellias so look carefully at the top and underside of the foliage of a new plant before purchase.

What do you think?
