What you say absolutely makes complete sense, but the Golden Darjeeling and
Golden Assam are just surprisingly good for the modest price. I haven't
purchased from them very regularly, but when i did I was pleasantly
surprised.

Online from Upton and sometimes Adagio.

I get In Pursuit of Tea from Real Foods in Manhattan.

McNulty's in Greenwich Village carries a variety of packaged teas
(Taylor's
& Harrowgate and Fornum & Mason) but they have loose Assam and
Darjeeling
that is really quite good as well.

I wouldn't buy loose tea from them. While I have nothing against
coffee, the shop is permeated by the aroma of coffee being ground.
Couple that with the way they store tea in glass jars with
loose-fitting lids and there's little assurance that what you buy will
taste right.
