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.

I'm in Georgia and if you ask for tea you usually get asked "sweet or unsweet".

The blueberry leaf tea grown in Georgia is one of the tastiest teas I've tried. Whenever I've been to the Adjara region it's always on the boil, ready to drink.

The other comments and this have me confused whether they meant the European country or the US state.
