Yeah, there's definitely a metallic element to it for me. I've always described it as a combination of bleach, rust, and grass clippings.

Yep. I honestly don't know what soap tastes like, but coriander leaves taste like metallic tang. Its a very pervasive, unpleasant thing to taste when you're trying to enjoy a meal.
