Default Where to buy good cheap tea?

Hi all,

I'm at wits' end. I cannot find good tea at a
reasonable price in the USA.

I used to buy tea at Trader Joes, but their tea
intermittently will have a slightly fishy smell to it.
It's only $1.80.

I've gone to Whole Foods for sales on Twinings
around $2, but frankly I find the people who work
at my local store, despite their low salaries, to be snobs.
If you don't go in there looking to be upper middle class
or richer, they can be very mean.

When I go to run of the mill supermarkets however
I find a poor selection at very high prices, and
teas like Lipton, while cheap, I find taste bad.

There is no health food co-op near me,
if there were I would inquire about bulk sales.

Is there a trick to getting good tea?

Chinatown perhaps, or an Indian store?
Mail-order?

Advise appreciated.
Thanks.
