Adagio is my main go-to, but I also go to Sloane sometimes. I also keep an eye out for small specialty tea shops recommended by friends for specific blends.

Republic of Tea is pretty solid for people just getting into looseleaf. Also Adagio, but I prefer their non-flavored teas (the flavored ones can be kinda intense/artificial).
If you're just looking for a solid black tea and don't care too much about it being looseleaf, you could check out Yorkshire Gold. It's what I drink most days and you can get it on Amazon.
Second Yorkshire gold. They do a decaf Yorkshire tea as well. It's my favourite tea of all time, I refuse to buy another brand of black tea.
Yorkshire gold is my go-to, as a Brit. I have fancier stuff for when I'm feeling like something a little extra or weird, but for a basic cuppa tea, this is peak.
Forgot to say - I'm assuming you want black tea, but RoT and Adagio both have good oolong, greens, and whites.
I like Ahmad brand Earl Grey quite a bit
The best tea I've ever had was from https://www.teadrunk.com/, but I couldn't afford to drink it every day (might be better as a special treat, like an expensive bottle of wine).
I get most of my tea from a family member who sends it to me via mail. It's just regular tea in a box though.
