This is a question that I’ve always thought about but never really pursued. Say we’re talking about Arizona iced tea specifically. Why does the original flavor taste so different from Sweet Tea? They have almost the same sugar, so where does the huge taste difference come from? Same can be said about Arizona iced tea and getting iced tea at a restaurant, and sweetening it yourself. Where does the taste difference come from?

Tea in particular seems to greatly absorb the “flavor” of what it is stored in.
Tea out of plastic container or an aluminum container tastes completely different than tea from a glass container.
Even the “freshness” of the tea greatly changes its taste.
If you brewed tea at home and added sugar to it. And, then you took a store bought packaged tea and added the same type and amount of sugar to it. I bet you they will taste different.
I agree with others here, saying that the type of sweeter plays a part. Yes, it certainly does. But, what I said above, plays much more of a factor than one would think.
