This might sound obvious, but be ready to sample quite a few varieties of heirloom tomato to see which ones you like. Many varieties are just as bland as modern beef steak but others are unexpectedly, and beautifully, fruity. Don’t accidentally buy pounds of duds, get samples!

I would add that tomato texture varies greatly. If you haven't tried tiny tomatoes, they may be more to your liking. I hate mushy tomatoes but really those are just overripe or were mistreated in storage (afaik)

ive tried several varieties and theyve all been much more flavorful.

Im pretty sure the most common variety is brandywine. If you dont wanna trial and error this ones an easy recommend.
