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

460 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?

Tea is a similar to coffee in that if you don’t brew it correctly you can change the flavor profile when you drink it.
There’s also different kind of leaves and combination there of, similar to how there are different coffee beans.

Same if you add different sweeteners or a combination of, at a certain stage of the brewing process.
Example:
Take a freshly brew cup of tea it’s still hot – you pour in honey. The honey dissolves as you stir.
Whereas after you wait for the tea to cool down. Add in your honey and sugar, you’ll see it sink to the bottom. You stir and some of dissolves, but you find some residue of honey and sugar still at the bottom.
