The tyranny of sweetened tea must be ended!! It’s damn near impossible to find unsweetened without making it yourself, here in the north at least. I know some areas of the south you will get asked.
These days it’s 8 bags of Tetley British Blend black tea in a quart of water, then diluted to what you feel like at the moment. Strong in the morning, weak at night. Usually with a big slice a of lime, sometimes with some mint leaves from the garden in season. We find this tea better than your typical supermarket teas but not crazy expensive like Twinings. When I could easily get rough cut Ti Kuan Yin oolong in Chinatown that was my goto. I could buy 7" cube tins full of paper tea sacks, I still have those tins all over the place with everything from pistachios to cigars in them. What’s really weird is when you pour Ti Kuan Yin concentrate over ice it turns milky!
