It's not only how fresh it is, but the quality of the green tea. Poor quality green teas can taste like cardboard or worse. Try a good quality tea, some of the cheap tea bags really are bad.

Green Tea

I would second trying something fresher, even the ones I get wrapped individually, placed in a metal tea caddy go stale.
White tea definitely has a lighter taste that you can customise more, it may be a better starting point for green tea
I'll second the advice to buy a good quality, fresh green tea and don't brew it too long. My favorite is Numi Monkey King Green Tea w/ Jasmine. I add a little Splenda. Yum!
I haven't tried this with "real" tea at home, but Lipton's bottled Green Tea with Citrus is very good -- so I suspect adding enough lemon might make it taste better. Cold is also better, because you taste it less that way... and definitely don't brew it for long! That goes for all teas, in my opinion...
I don't mind it as long as it isn't too strong
