If you like fruity nuances Ceylon could be a thing, you get good quality without spending a lot
If you like darker, maltier and deeper taste, you can go for Assam, there is a lot of quality types and prices

I've got a feeling, based on the wording of your title, that you are looking for exact product recommendations. In which case your general location in the world might be helpful
As for the daily drinker black (in the European sense, right?) tea, though I like Darjeelings. They have a nice happy-fruity flavour
What is a non food quality tea? Pot pourri? What else could you use tea for?
That's a pretty open-ended question, but I think other folks have made some good suggestions.
Assam, Ceylon, and Yunnan teas tend to be the best in terms of price per gram, and can be found from multiple vendors.
Did you want specific vendors/recommendations?
Yeah vendor recommendations would be great. I used to be into tea but I getting back into it I just need something good also fair value.
I have been out of the tea game for a while, but here are a few personal favorites that I come back to:
Adagio Tea's Scottish Breakfast ($0.11/g)
Vahdam Tea's Daily Assam ($0.06/g, but you have to buy 340g)
Yunnan Craft's Zhong Guo Hong ($0.09/g)
Yunnan Sourcing's Black Gold Bi Luo Chun ($0.12/g)
I explore a lot of different teas, including the complicated world of pu’er. And I’ve found a bunch that I really enjoy. But I still drink a very simple Numi Breakfast Blend every morning 🤷♂️
