That’s going to be regional. In the US iced tea is unsweetened. Sweet tea is the one with tons of sugar, or if you’re in the south they might just call it tea. In my travels in the US it’s pretty understood that “iced tea” is unsweetened.
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
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.
In the north of France, there’s a thing sold that’s “beer bitter” which is a bitter alcohol specifically for adding to beer (Picon being the most common one).
The true purpose is probably mostly to add alcohol though. But it does taste nice.
Yeah, but complaining about bitter and then adding more bitter to improve it makes no sense. They didn’t say they added sweet tea.
Iced tea usually has tons of sugar.

I mean if Nestlé Iced Tea is considered “unsweetened” as I’ve read down in the comment chain, then we don’t have sweet tea here at all lol
Unless you’re in the southern US, you probably don’t.
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
Really? I thought iced tea was unsweetened when I visited Canada, but I could be misremembering.

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.
Because those aren’t sweet teas… At least not as sweet as actual sweet tea in the south.
I’m thought @[email protected] was being sarcastic, but lo and behold, people actually consider 33g of sugar per serving “unsweetened”
Unsweetened for americans maybe
Alright that’s funny.
Doubly so if you have ever had southern sweet tea where you could probably put a stick in it and get rock candy back out.
I’ve definitely ordered one when I was down south, poured 2/3rds out, and topped it up with water, and it was still comparable to nestea
Ok? Like…it means no sugar. Just tea and ice. It’s my default drink. Pure leaf and gold peak make it. 0 calories. Don’t know what to tell you?

That probably isn’t marketed to people that think beer is too bitter already.
