From what I experienced it is a lot of small pieces of leaf. I only tried it once I wasn’t very impressed maybe I should give it a second chance but at this time I did not really enjoy it that much It’s pretty cool how it comes in the bamboo stick and you have to break it open to get the tea. Other than that I’m not super impressed with the tea
