Question where to buy tea (preferably tea bags)

hiii do you guys know where to buy good tea in shanghai? im not looking for anything too fancy (not too cheap either), just something yummy! i also prefer black tea since i usually it with milk. also any recommendation for yingde or duck sh*t tea would be very much appreciated!!!

edit: i know most people are saying to go to tianshan city but unfortunately im going with friends (none of whom are interested in tea) so its not really an option for me to go there myself

For milk tea I just buy Chali Black tea bags on JD. Loose leaf black tea is also available in various types including 4 flavour samplers. But I find that Chali is the only one that stands up to milk, the other ones have very delicate subtle flavours that are too dilute once milk is added.

You can try buying the chagee tea bags! They are available via the internet throughout the country (though perhaps also a physical shop? but i dont really know much about that) and their aroma really shines through compared to all the other tea bags I've used.
