My suggestion would be to go to Whole Foods or a similar store and try out some teas that you think would taste good.
Another place you can check out is Teavana (probably at a local mall - free samples). More expensive though.
I'd also recommend getting something like these so you don't have to mess with tea bags:

The longer you steep the tea, the stronger it gets, but at a certain point you should take it out since it's only going to make the tea too strong and ruin the flavor.
Depending on the type and strength, I usually steep black tea for about 4 minutes and it's plenty strong. Green tea's you can usually steep for less time, but don't leave it in the whole time.
I got into tea this past year and I love it, I'm still a huge coffee fan but tea is a nice alternative. That Bigelow green tea with mango is really good as a matter of fact, find a variety pack and see what you like... should only be a few bucks at the store.
Eventually I got tired of tea in bags and I switched over to loose tea. Really enjoy it and the amount of variety you can find in tea shops is awesome. My favorites are English breakfast, passionfruit green tea, Earl Grey, mandarin green, etc.
This is what I currently use and it's great..

That's a good product Big J's got there... I have a similar one for my tea.
I drink more of the traditional Chinese teas... none of that tea-bag stuff, which at times, is comprised of the bottom-of-the-pile tea bits. Ultimately, I think it's best to go with actual tea leaves.
This is also excellent.

I always liked the fruit teas taste just like the fruit, but doesn't have the sweetness, also has a great smell.
