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.

    I’m guessing auto correct got you on your cup of “char”. Either that or you very sarcastically don’t like chai.

        Ah… that’s… interesting. 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.

        I suppose I could see char being an apt description (which I’m curious if that is what the other commenter was referencing). While I wouldn’t say it’s roasted, the flavor itself could convey that flavor I guess. Being roasted isn’t the only way to get a smokey flavor, which I think is one of the main flavors I associate with the word “char”. That or charcoal.
