Default Setting up a Tea "Party"

So, I have a few friends who are really interested in seeing what I know
and what they can learn about more "advanced" tea "arts." This really
means that they want to get to know more about tea and its preparation.

I have my own tastes, but I was hoping that I could get some feedback
from the tea lovers here about what a good selection of tea might be to
get them started. I am arranging a get together where we can all do some
tea tasting. Does anyone here have some recommendations on some teas to
go for? I am leaning towards a Chinese/Oriental style preparation, and
so I think I will likely go with traditional Chinese style teas, rather
than doing a European style presentation.

Teas on my list right now are Puer, some classic Greens (probably just
one good one), a decent white tea, and maybe one other "strong" tea.

Suggestions?

What youre planning sounds good. I dont want to recommend specific
teas, though; I think its important to make teas that you already love
and are comfortable brewing. Sometimes its fun to experiment when
making tea for experienced tea drinkers, but doing this for beginners
seems wrong to me.
