| My best guess would be that no child prefers unsweetened tea. Kids like sweet drinks. However, you should not feel obligated to buy this child their favorite treat, especially if it's unhealthy. Is this child coming to your house? If so, you can just offer whatever you offer your own child. |

If it's a kid, I assume sweetened. I personally switched to unsweetened tea in my 30s

| We only gave our DD unsweetened so she requests it. However, most children like sweetened. |

No way to know unless you ask. Get unsweet and they can sweeten it with sugar slop if they want. Cannot unsweet already sweet stuff. |

| As a southerner, the default is sweetened. |

Sorry, my original post should have read that my kid has a secret pal at camp. I'm working off a list of favorites. I have no idea who the kid is and no way to ask what they meant.
I'll go with sweet tea and if it's wrong, so be it. |

It could be either.
Impossible to remove sugar from sweet tea. Easy to add sugar to non-sweet tea. |

| Oh honey. From a southerner- There is no such thing as unsweetened tea. Just varying levels of sweetness. |

| Where’s the kid from? I grew up in Ohio. No one specified sweetened or unsweetened. Iced tea was slightly sweet. I lived in the South for a while and tea was either unsweetened (too bitter) or it was sweet tea (sickeningly sweet). |

| Southerner. Sweet tea is called that. Iced tea they ask sugar, lemon or both. |

| Depends where they are from. NE or Midwest, I would assume unsweetened. I’m from the Midwest and restaurants don’t even have sweetened iced tea. If you want sweetened, you have to ask for sugar and mix your own. If from the South or even DMV, I’d assume sweetened |
