In the South East, they bring you sweetened (usually far too sweetened for my tastes) iced tea. This is amazingly universal.

I live in NC and have been probing the border for years.

For "nicer" restaurants, the universal sweet tea boundary seems to be precisely at the NC/VA border.

Texas - fast food they ask sweet or unsweet. Sit down restaurant they sometimes ask and they sometimes bring unsweet and a box of sweeteners.

Why in England do they have such good hot tea and terrible iced tea? It's usually that shit lemon lipton can. Everytime i ask for a cup of ice they just look at me like I'm doing it wrong.

Because you are doing it wrong. Tea is a hot beverage and iced tea is an affront to god.

Supermarket tee (the one in the bags), just more expensive and cold.

Depends on the place Asian places will give you a kettle mug and a box of teas and other places will just give you the mug of hot water and the box of teas and sometimes you can ask for sweet tea and have the full options of sugar maple honey and raspberry tea I'm from Vermont by the way

Colorado here, and at most restaurants you’ll usually be asked what type of tea or be brought a mug/teapot of hot water and an assortment of tea bags to choose from.
