Where in London can I buy good loose tea?

Question

And I am not talking about Green Tea and Oolong and Roibush, I am talking Darjeeling First Flush FTGOP, a nice Assam...

I want someone standing behind a counter with large boxes lined up on a shelf behind them and when you ask them what kind of tea they think is good these days, pull out ten different boxes and let you smell them... 

Anywhere in London?
