I went to a local Chinese market and bought a huge bag of Jasmine tea on sale last year. I pour some in a container to use, and keep the rest sealed in a dark, cool spot. I can't remember the price but it was very inexpensive, and is a very smooth tea. I usually will add two bags or a smaller strainer of another flavor to the pot of jasmine just to switch it up.
You can buy the metal tea balls inexpensively. Fill the large one half full with jasmine, the small one with whichever blend you prefer and let steep in a full pot for 3-5 minutes. Some teas will list the temperature, I think 130 F is a good temp that is hot enough to steep the tea, but not too hot which will make it bitter.
This is a great way to use the expensive and incredibly tasty teas (for example the ones I bought at Teja tea in Beaverton, OR at the mall -- love the "almond biscotti") and still save a little money.
