Hi Prep Girl.
I bought this stuff some time back it can only be sold in UK and I think USA as an animal feed, I have read that is it’s very healthy, I think it is used a lot in Japan and China.
Mine is dark brown and very fine powder, in normal PG tips tea it is not two nice but added to green tea and that was my reason for buying, it adds a nice taste.
I think it is being withheld because of the Artificial Sweeteners market.
If anyone is interested took a pic of it, it is more green then brown.
