The picture looks like some low quality product that I cannot recognise as anything from any of the proper baimudan origins. They look similar, but the leaf size, edge patterns seem quite different. And they are quite broken. Still I cannot say for sure by looking at this particular picture.
According to your description of taste and smell, however, it surely does not sound too appealing to drink.
Try 3g/250 ml/90°C/3 min to see if it turns out any better.
It could also be a badly stored low quality product, or imitation product, or maybe artificially scented. If you find it undrinkable, perhaps you should either return it or use it as a deodorizer in the fridge? That’s what I use bad tea for.
Sorry about the bad experience.
