EventHorizon, mint is easy to grow, and great for making your own teas. I have spearmint, peppermint, and a cultivar called Moroccan mint. The Moroccan mint is my favorite for making my own tea.
I have the Brewing Basket on this page:
Finum - Permanent Tea Filters | Brewing Basket | Golden Filter Set | Universal Filter | Tea Kit
Most of the loose leaf tea I buy comes from a local shop:
Oregon Coffee & Tea | HOME I probably have six different kinds of loose leaf tea in my cupboard at any given time.
White teas: Silver Needle, White Peony
Green teas: Sencha, Hojicha (roasted bancha)
Oolong: Ti Kuan Yin (Iron Goddess of Mercy)
Black: English Breakfast, Darjeeling

At night, we both like Celestial Seasonings herbal teas--Tension Tamer for me, Sleepytime for him.
