The use of dried leaves (pieces or powdered) is not unacceptable in cooking and does leave a sediment in clear drinks etc and can also leave a green colour in addition to the unpleasant aroma associated with the dried leaves. Appropriate processing of the dry leaves can remove this aroma which is due to specific leaf compounds (not steviosides).
