Default Thin Mortar for Tuck Pointing

I need help selecting a mortar for tuck pointing. I have a 105 year
old house that needs some tuck pointing. The mortar is white and is
about ¼ inch thick. I would like a white mortar if possible, but I
think it would be more important for the mortar to be strong and binds
to the brick strongly.

I've been to HD and Lowes and did a little Web searching. I see so
many different types of mortars. Is it better to use a mortar with a
polymer or latex in it?

I plan to use a group bag for pointing, if this would make a
difference.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
