Japan
In Japan, powdery kelp tea are sold as an Instant tea under the name of Konbu-cha. It is made by drying kelp to a fine powder and blending it with seasonings such as salt and sugar[1]. It's simply dissolved in hot water and enjoyed as a tea. Note that Konbu-cha does not contain any true tea (Camellia sinensis).
The powdery kelp tea was made by the founder of GYOKUROEN "Umazou Fujita" in 1918[2].

Historically, kelp tea is thought to have been drunk from quite a long time ago[1] because the edible use of kelp is from ancient times[1].
Tea using kelp already existed in Edo period at the latest[2], and people drank it by pouring boiling water over chopped kelp[2].
Korea
Either dried kelp powder or julienned kelp can be used to make the tea.[4]
Powdered tea can be made by pan-frying and pounding cleaned and dried kelp.[5] For a cup of hot water, two to three spoons of kelp powder is used.[5] Optionally, sugar or honey can be added.[5]
Alternatively, around 30 grams (1.1 oz) of cleaned kelp pieces are infused in 300–500 millilitres (11–18 imp fl oz; 10–17 US fl oz) of hot water.[6] The kelp slices are removed after infusing, and salt is added to taste.[6]
