To anyone contemplating a foray into various teas I recommend checking out this site:
Gourmet Tea, Loose Leaf vs. Tea Bag
I'd been drinking green and white tea in bags for the past couple years, not realizing there was anything significantly better out there health or tastewise. Then my girlfriend gave me a loose leaf bag of Silver Jasmine white tea and an infuser this past Christmas. Not only is the taste better, so are the health benefits, as mentioned in the above link.
