New Age isn't an umbrella term for "vaguely mystical by Western standards", it describes a specific cluster of spiritual practices
Which people who are "vaguely mystical by Western standards" but don't self label as part of New Age would you recommend?
I'm not opposed to going to a 'real' Buddhist temple and learning meditation at that place.
I think giving good general advice for finding a good mediation teacher is hard. I don't think apparent coherence is a good standard to judge a meditation teacher. If everything the teacher says seems coherent to you, he probably doesn't have much to teach to you.
It's not easy to see the difference between someone who gives you an answer that takes you halve a year to digest and someone who gives you an answer that's bullshit.
I personally found a teacher through an impressive experience with one person who then made a recommendation which I followed.
In the absence of someone who can give you a good recommendation I would look for experience. Did the teacher put in his 10,000 hours? Did the teacher expose themselves to multiple other teachers with reputation?

Well, I'm not sure it's really my place to be giving recommendations here; I know the basics, but there are people on this site far more advanced than I. That said, I think it'd probably be a good bet to learn from an established school of Buddhist meditation -- not necessarily a temple -- but this carries the additional caveat that there are many different kinds of meditation taught within Buddhism, and not all of them are...
