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"
I mean, it is a tea that is sweet, but it's not sweet tea.
Yeah, I'm confused about that as well. And scared.
Yeah it’s more of a semi sweet tea. Sweet tea is a syrup. Like, literally most home recipes I’ve heard call to add sugar until it stops absorbing while hot
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.
Tastes like it was designed by someone who had never had tea in their lives.
It has, like, a chemically burning aftertaste too. Or I'm allergic to something in it, I dunno.
