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.
“Black, green, peppermint, chamomile, melissa, ginger?”
10 minutes later you get a hot cup with a bag in it, no clue how long it’s been sitting in there already. Usually a bag of sugar and/or a cookie on the saucer.
Germany.
I knew it was Germany from the selection alone. Might want to add Earl grey, if the restaurant is feeling adventurous
Also Germany: The place where I drink tea has a seperate tea menu of several pages.
