That's sweet tea in northern America. Unsweetened is the default here.

    It's sweet tea in the United States.

    In Canada "Iced Tea" means "sweet tea" most of the time

    Why are people downvoting you? Iced tea in Canada is sweet. Think things like Brisk or Nestea. If you order iced tea at a restaurant here, it's coming out if the same machine as the pop (syrup+water) just not carbonated.

    Really? I thought iced tea was unsweetened when I visited Canada, but I could be misremembering.

    If you order an iced tea in Canada you are getting Nestea/Brisk like 95% of the time. Both are sweet teas, but are marketed and labelled as "Iced Tea", not "Sweet Tea" - ask our American beverage overlords Coke/Pepsi why

    If you are in a cafe, or some other place where the expectation is that they brew their own, then yes, it's generally unsweetened - but it's also usually explicitly labelled as such on the menu so you know whether you are getting brewed tea vs a glass of corn syrup

    Because those aren't sweet teas... At least not as sweet as actual sweet tea in the south.

    I'm thought @Honytawk@lemmy.zip was being sarcastic, but lo and behold, people actually consider 33g of sugar per serving "unsweetened"

    Brisk makes me so sad. I'll just do a soda instead at that point. I'll do unsweetened iced tea or sweet tea, but not that trash.
