(is that just the light or is it mold?)

1x medium steep.

Light steep; I taste/smell: (smell) slight —> oranges, fishy. (Taste) slight -→ oranges, earth, fishy.

Medium steep; I taste/smell: (smell) slight —> oranges, fishy. (Taste) light -→ oranges, earth, fishy.

Heavy steep; I taste/smell: (smell) light earth. light to medium —→ oranges, fishy. (Taste) medium earth, fermentation (?), fishy (?). Note: either the fishy has disappeared, or it was actually fermentation.

Wow! This one is very tasty, It surprised me! Lovely tastes in heavy steeps. Because it had fishyness, I was going to give it a 75. but because if completely surprised me, I give it a 85. Maybe someone can look at the photos and clear up for me the note I left in the heavy steep.

I say it might just be worth the money.

Preparation
Boiling 5 g 8 OZ / 250 ML
