In my view, part of the basic character of Tianshan April Mist is its strength and brightness. Although it can be made with a shorter infusion time and fewer leaves, some of the basic characteristics that make it quite strong, bright, and vegetal would remain.
For softer and gentler tastes, I would maybe recommend a different green tea like maybe the Silver Curls Spring. These two teas actually have quite a bit in common, but the Silver Curls Spring is softer, rounder, and more balanced. That may be more suitable if you like lighter and more subtle flavors.
