I can't recommend a specific variety myself, but I can point you to some
sources that I like with LOTS of different tomatoes.

My personal favorite is is Seed Savers Exchange.  3076 North Winn Road,
Decorah, Iowa 52101, 319-382-5990

Totally Tomatoes
803-663-0016

Tomato Growers Supply (my other fave for tomato seeds)
888-478-7333

Seeds of Change
888-762-7333

Bountiful Gardens
707-459-6410

I've gotten tomato seeds from all of these companies and been satisfied.
This year I'll be trying a Seed Savers variety called Ganti which they say
"excellent full flaver has a cleansing effect on the taste buds."  Could
this be a description of tangy?;)
