As for tea, it is VERY unusual to see anyone order anything other than iced tea here. The exception is in Chinese restaurants, where you still get the pot of Jasmine tea and the little thick-walled cups. I've never seen anybody put sugar in those, though, Stitchawl. I drink my tea like I do my coffee -- nothing added.

maybe the northwest is just a little odd, I don't know, but there is a great deal of tea consumption in even the coffee shops here. then again the current coffee craze more or less got its start here
when I started out drinking tea as a young teen and the only black tea I was ever served was liptons, then I used cream and sugar. now I consider that tea abuse. all black teas I drink straight. occasional green or white teas beg for just a hint of sweetness and I usually comply with a bit of honey. I actually have one white tea that is better with a tiny bit of raw sugar. lemon goes in iced black tea!
