Why does (Arizona for example) iced tea with sugar taste so different from sweet tea?

456 viewsOther

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?

Many teas also have citric acid added as a preservative. Apparently most people don’t notice it but I find it gives things a funny and unpleasant taste. Not sure if that applies to Arizona teas as I don’t drink those.
