For me, a lot of green teas taste the same way that freshly-cut grass smells. And to your parent comment, I’ve tried shorter times at lower temperatures (eg. 30 seconds in 60C water) and the taste persists, just weaker.
Not sure if it goes away or just sufficently fades into the background. Only other thing I’d say is drink within 10-15 minutes, especially if any loose tea gets into the drink. I’ve had good luck with 30s/75c with the one Costco sells in bulk. I imagine there’s some variation in tea leaves and preperation, but people mostly stop looking once they find a few good-enough sources/brands. Mind you I’m thinking more slightly decayed grass as the thing to avoid.
