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.

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.

I'd like to propose a middle ground. As someone who puts effort into avoiding added sugars, it is much more difficult to find unsweetened tea at some chain restaurants or convenience stores.

Being from the North, I'm no authority on Sweet Tea, but I've heard that it's nearly saturated with sugar. If so, that's not what's usually available either.

I've encountered many a place selling sweetened tea (that may not qualify as proper Sweet Tea), but they didn't have unsweetened tea.
