I like my [glass Bodum teapot] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00005LM0Z/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_3?pf_rd_p=569136327&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0009VF4V0&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=5E48DC1YZBEKJVNYJX5W). It makes enough for two and a bit of the huge mugs we use and stops the tea stewing once it's done.
Like most anything else, there's no less than a bazillion options, and everyone will have their own take on which ones you should begin with.
If you can find a tea shop reasonably close, I recommend buying an ounce or two of several teas. Any reasonably large city should have a tea shop, you may have one near you. Take note of how to properly brew each one and give it a try. Experiment with the steep time and temperature a little if it's not quite to your liking, or if you're just feeling adventurous.
If buying in person isn't feasible, try a sample pack or similar from a reputable online vendor. There are some links in the sidebar that will help with that.
Get a tea kettle for boiling your water, good ones can be had from a variety of online retailers, like teas, but home goods stores will usually have a decent kettle. Electric or stovetop doesn't really matter much, I use a stovetop kettle myself.
With a kettle and tea in hand, you have a couple options for brewing. The best (IMO) is a proper tea pot, and there are many styles available. I have this one, and it's pretty foolproof and sturdy:

Alternatively, you can just use tea filters, like this:

It's basically a DIY tea bag.
That is my recommendation for equipment, and only based on what I have personally used. I will let others offer suggestions for specific teas to order online, as I make all my purchases locally and can't recommend anything in particular.
I have Bodum 17oz It fills about 2 mugs and looks like it works the same way as your larger pot. It does the job.
I love my BODUM Assam tea press. It works like a French press but keeps the tea from continuing to brew. Plus you can get it almost entirely plastic free so it looks fancy despite being fairly affordable.
