If you're not sure, unsweetened. It's easier to add sweet than remove it.

I am from NY.

Iced tea means unsweetened.

Add a sugar packet and it is sweetened.

Sweet tea is its own beast which, as someone who hadn’t heard of it nor tasted it until her 30s, finds to taste like diabetes in a glass.

This.
There's tea (served hot and plain with sides of sugar, milk, honey, etc.)
Iced tea (unsweet served with or without sours like lemons)
Sweet tea (sweet obviously, served with or without lemons)

+1. It sounds like this is a treat for a kid — not a beverage order. Arizona or Snapple.

Strongly disagree, and so do my kids. I still remember my eldest nearly spitting out their sip when we first went to Georgia. They didn't realize tea could be that sweet But please don't give my kids caffeinated beverages after 4pm or they're up all night.
