FWIW, I like oolong and jasmine tea, at least at restaurants, but I generally don't like green teas. But in case your reasons for disliking green tea (torachan's rec notwithstanding, if that works out for you! ^_^) are different from mine, I'll mention that many, many people steep green tea at too high a temperature (and often for too long, I think?), which does not do it any favors. I forget the actual recommended temperature, but it's noticeably lower than the temperature for black tea.
Also, while I still don't like it, exactly, and don't drink it, I think genmaicha smells lovely and tastes better than a lot of others. It's roasted, which makes a huge difference to the smell (and is nothing like smokey tea. My Ginny adores smokey things like Russian Caravan, and I just run away. I do not want to drink a campfire).
