Steve,

I'd be careful about that old percolator for heating water. That is, if you
can smell any coffee residue in it. Wouldn't work well for tea.

As for the samplers, as Michael said, I think they'd all be good. Depends on
what individual tastes you're looking for.

What kinds of oolong do you drink?
On the IPOT website, the oolong sampler lists Nantou, Phoenix and Bai Hao.

For the Whites, there's Yinzhen Silver Needles and Drum Mountain.

If you're not familiar with these, I could post something about their
characteristics.

Most of the above are pretty distinctive in their flavor profiles. Note that
there's not a typical dark oolong or a Bai Mu Dan white in the list.
