I think you can get that tea in the Chinese food section of Hy-Vee. It
may be a little more expensive ($.75 a box of 25), but it is exceedingly
smooth and mild. 
I was out in the bay area about a year ago, and I got a chance to go to
Chinatown with my wife. That was really cool. It was like going to a
different country.(Or at least what I would imagine it to be like :-))
There was a store there with loose leaf teas costing over $100 an ounce
in these large metal cans. Things like "Leaves picked right before the
first spring rain" were brought up, and the leaves smelt fresh and
fragrant.
My favorite tea is a French blend. I haven't found it since I got my
original tin a few years ago, but here is a web site with some of their
blends:

I found a set with a dented can on clearance at a store in Epcot center
a few years back. The one I really liked was called Fauchon Blend Tea.
The apple tea was good too, but it was very strong.

I have had this problem also.

I buy jasmine tea from the Hong Kong market which is on the I-70 
driveway near highway 63 close to Regional Hospital.  This is absolutely

the best jasmine tea I have found in Columbia, and has the additional 
advantage of being extremely cheap ($4 for 100 tea bags).  But the tea 
bags are cheaply made and sometimes fall apart, etc, etc.  (In case you 
are interested in buying it, it comes in an orange box.)

I am fairly certain that this is the same jasmine tea that is served at 
Q's chinese restaurant (where drinks have the usual mark up and so it 
costs something like $1.70 for one tea bag there).
