Okay, this is very cheap green tea, and you can probably make a good cup
of tea with it, but it's going to be difficult.

I usually start using one tablespoon for 3 minutes at 180-185F in 8 oz
water. Depending on how it tastes, I'll increase or decrease the
steep time. Sometimes I'll vary the amount of loose leaf tea, but
very rarely. I use filtered cold water, and use an Ingenuitea to brew
my tea.

You may want to consider using a lower temperature to start out with.
Temperature control seems to be the key to getting a good cup from cheap
greens.

Any way I brew it, it's cloudy and odd tasting. It came in a 100g
sealed package.

Cloudiness can be all kinds of different things, including dissolved proteins.
It's probably unrelated to the taste issue, though you never know.
