The word my tired brain was looking for earlier, Sarah, is 'cloying'. Yes. It's served iced, it's *amazingly* sweet (not enough lemon in the world to cut it usually), and south of Maryland, I think, certainly south of Virginia, you'd better ask for 'unsweetened' iced tea. I've also heard it called Yankee tea. (Can you tell I don't put sugar in tea, either?)
