I have a bag of Clipper's white tea with vanilla at work, keeps me awake for the late night shifts.

I live in Japan so can't avoid it. Always unsweetened here though, they like the bitterness. Taiwan was sweetened de facto though it seems, luckily I can read enough sinographs to know what 'no sugar' looks like.

If you want recommendations for Japanese stuff, look for 番茶 (bancha, standard grade) or 煎茶 (sencha, 'guest tea' because it's quality). ほうじ茶 (hohjicha) is roasted 番茶, I normally buy that but you can make it by roasting bancha in a pan on high heat for about a minute I think. 抹茶 (macha, powdered tea) isn't often drunk and it's a one-off thing because it's pretty fucking bitter and served with a little sweet. I actually went to Uji near Kyoto to see the Byodo-in temple and it's the heart of tea production, fucking everywhere and there's loads of different ways of serving it like using sencha to mix up macha and switching between them over the course of the life of the tea in the pot.
