I agree with the former statement. But Kalmane coffee's "Bluegrass" by the cup rocks... Their Nelyani is just Bluegrass with Elaichi powder. But please avoid the outlet in Innovative multiplex.
Oxford Bookshop in Madras (haddows road) has a surprisingly good selection of teas (lapsang souchong / oolong etc + single source indian teas and coffees). And their wraps are surprisingly tasty too.
Certainly priced competitively wrt coffee day / barista etc - I got a "achari paneer" (spicy cottage cheese + onions + other stuff) wrap + a pot of lapsang souchong for around 160 or so. They know how to serve such tea too - pretty decent china bowl and teapot.
Then there's a chain called cup and saucer (attached to another chain called nuts and spices, that sells well... nuts, spices + stuff like imported pasta, instant coffee, cookies etc), also surprisingly good for tea.
