If you ask for "tea" at a restaurant, what happens and where do you live?

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.

Here they tend to either ask you if you want green or black tea or bring you a box of lipton with various flavors and let you chose from that.

And 9/10 chance it'll taste moldy AF.

Tea isn't very common here.
