Too hot water! That's my thought.
I drink this tea regularly. I would recommend giving it a second try if you did not enjoy it (if you have any more on hand). I have found it is very difficult to brew well.
I also find it does best with water that is only slightly warm, 140-160F. 180F water (which I use to brew most green teas) makes it come out pretty terrible.
It's not my favorite green tea even when brewed properly, but I do find it is very enjoyable, and I find it is pretty much undrinkable when I brew it with hotter water.
