#I can't afford to do that rn so I'll stick with my random cheap bagged orange pekoe/earl greys

I've always been a tea person, and have been trying to branch out in terms of black tea. What I've learned is that expensive grocery store or otherwise readily available locally black tea is always worse than cheap grocery store black tea. If you buy a $16 box of black tea with like 8 tea bags in it, it'll probably be so weak that you feel like you're drinking milky water, and you'll pine for the $5 actually strong enough to taste and enjoy Red Rose or Tetley or whatever.
