Hi Sakuya-san. Well, if anyone wants to ask me questions, I'll answer them, and if someone is willing to compile them into a new pastebin, we can make a bigger, better FAQ.

As for recommendations, I don't have anywhere I'd be confident in recommending. Most of what I have tried has disappointed me. I just sat down to drink my first shincha of 2014 right now and I couldn't possibly recommend it to anyone. Finding good tea is hard, and Japanese green's the hardest.

It tastes like over-the-top jingoism and requires hours of grindingly repetitive preparation to start brewing properly.

Nah, it tastes somewhere in between Japanese and Chinese tea. It's quite difficult to find high-quality Korean tea from Camellia Sinensis, which is what I am assuming you are asking about. Domestic production is low and domestic consumption is high, which means very little quality Korean tea makes it out of the country for export. Korean tea is very notable for its tremendous variety of herbal teas, however.
