underbrewed
Not steeped enough
Underbrewed describes a beverage, usually tea or coffee, that hasn't steeped or extracted long enough to develop full flavor.
The result tastes weak or watery: This coffee is underbrewed—it's barely brown.
The term applies literally to brewing processes but can extend figuratively to anything insufficiently developed: The script felt underbrewed, like a first draft.
