But surely that leaves you with breakfast tea, yorkshire tea, green tea, white tea and that's it. All other teas have added flavour, including Lapsang souchong. Also gunpowder is infused with flavour....

It is? I asked in the tea shop and they said it's unflavoured.

Uh... I guess you could argue that Lapsang souchong is "flavored" in the sense that it's dried over fire and has a smoky flavor, but gunpowder tea isn't flavored. It's just Chinese green tea rolled into a small pellet.

"That's it"? There's quite a variety of unflavored black teas and green teas in addition to white tea that fits OP's needs. They definitely are NOT limited to "breakfast tea" and "yorkshire tea", which are blends of different black teas, usually assam, ceylon, Kenyan teas, etc. There are dozens and dozens of varieties of oolong alone. Gunpowder tea isn't flavored in the sense that Earl Grey is (with added bergamot) it's just Chinese green tea. There are LOTS of different varieties of both Chinese AND Japanese green teas.

I don't mean to be rude here, but it doesn't seem like you know a great deal about tea.

Yes but OP ruled out jasmine tea which is just green tea with added jasmine. Hence my confusion. If OP wants only tea without additions of anything else then that limits them quite a bit.

I don't understand what makes you think "added anything" makes it fit the bill for nonflavored in the first place.

No, it doesn't. Have you heard of teas like ceylon, assam, keemun, darjeeling? Each of those types of tea have many varietals to try. Do you realize there are many, MANY types of Japanese green tea? And Chinese green tea? And many different types of white teas? There are many, many varieties of each type of tea, none of which have added flavors. There are also many blended teas, far more than just the breakfast blend and yorkshire tea you've heard of, and those too do not necessarily have added flavors.

OP is NOT limited to a small amount of tea. With all due respect, you don't know what you're talking about.

All varieties of green tea, black tea and white tea. My confusion lay in the OPs extremely blurry boundaries.

OP
Non-flavoured means no added stuff. How is that blurry?

I must admit that I was confused by your first suggestion as I figured that maybe it was an actual type of tea leaf. Perhaps that's what confused you as well?

Uh, OP's boundaries weren't blurry, you just didn't understand the question, nor do you understand what flavored tea is. The giveaway is that nobody else had a problem grasping OP's question. That was pretty obvious when you said gunpowder tea was flavored and that you keep repeating that green tea, black tea and white tea limits OP's choices quite a bit. No, it doesn't. There are plenty of choices within those three categories alone. You don't seem aware of them (even though others have told you repeatedly) but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Maybe you're trying to be helpful here, but you're not really grasping that your own knowledge is extremely limited and inaccurate. All you're doing is spouting off misinformation, and your stubbornness at clinging to it in the face of reality makes me question whether or not your intentions are good after all.

OP

Thank you, anon, for having my back in this. And like you said: green, black and white are just categories into which all the sorts and types are sorted.

I will say that the shop I was at had a tin with a mix of gunpowder and fruit ( or flower?), but I'm staying far far away from that one. It feels a bit like heresy. I know that Gunpowder in itself isn't flavoured, though.
