▲ 181 ▼ If you ask for "tea" at a restaurant, what happens and where do you live? (lemmy.world) submitted 2 years ago by PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world 201 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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.

Is there a reason why? And where is that? Cause I don't think I'd ever connect the two. Like, if someone offered me a cup of char, I'd probably think coffee before tea. Cause one is at least significantly roasted. permalink fedilink source parent
