Most Americans wouldn't buy cold unsweetened tea.

.....damn dude.

Never been to the south have you?

>>7894299

That's cold, but it's sweet as fuck. Some places do have "unsweet tea", but that's really just so that the diner can adjust the sweetness level to their taste. Sweet-as-fuck iced tea is the norm here in the south.

>>7894299
All the cold tea in the south is flooded with sugar.

Water ionizes into H+ and OH- which technically can add additional H+ ions which lowers pH, so technically water can be classified as a weak acid or base depending on reaction

OP, those aren't similar products. Once is a lemon flavored sweet tea, and the other is simply brewed tea (might even be powdered green if the truth is known). Unsweetened green tea, btw, is pretty grassy and not as deliciously delicate like a brewed black or white.

>>7894207
>What would it take to make Americans drink unsweetened black tea?
Just buy unsweet tea then dumbass. They sell it you know, or you can brew your own. My grocery sells it by the gallon daily brewed, as well as let's see, Gold Peak, Pure Leaf, Honest, Fuze....

If you like Arizona, that's the last brand I think that doesn't have an unsweet, but only Diet with artificial sweeteners. You should also know that when people are buying bottled beverages, they are also looking for additives like Vitamin C, ginseng or something that kind of gives them a pick me up like the afternoon coffee break, and even calories do that, staves off hunger for a few.

>>7894256
They do in the midwest, but most other places it's not popular. That lipton pure leaf stuff is bretty good

Cheapness.

If you want to market unsweetened green tea (especially to a nation of green tea drinkers) you have to start out with decent quality tea. Doing that in the US would be cost prohibitive for the mass market, where the average customer is willing to trade quality for a lower price in most situations. But Americans, particularly in the South really like sweet drinks. HFCS is totally cheap, and put enough of it in there it will overpower the off taste on the cheapest tea you can get. Still it may require some "natural flavors" to make it taste like much of anything. By the time it's that sweet the weak acid of the green tea isn't enough to keep it from tasting like syrup. Adding ascorbic acid will fix that, and maintain the color. The rest of the preservatives will allow it to sit on pallets in warehouses without climate control more or less indefinitely without the flavor changing in any noticeable way. That's a profitable set of specs for the US market.

Americans are babies who can't eat something without a ton of fat and/or salt and/or sugar. They're permachildren, little manchildren and womenchildren. And I am american so I know. Everything here is so disgustingly sweet I have to make it myself if I want anything decent. The only flavor in most desserts is "sugar". You could probably smother cardboard in butter and sugar and americans would gobble it up.

Thankfully we DO sell unsweetened versions, usually, but they're less popular and less likely to be stocked in a small store.

>>7894299

Are you fucking retarded or can't you read? UNsweetened you southern fatass, has the sugar gotten to your brain?

Oh my God.

who /suntea/ here?

f the drink didn't contain all those ingredients, the manufacturers of all those chemicals would lose business. Would you be able to sleep at night knowing that all the workers at the sodium hexametaphosphate factory wouldn't be able to feed their families?

>>7897538
Sodium hexametaphosphate isn't made independently in a factory. It's just confusing chemist jargon for "we spit in your drink."

>>7897538
>>7897552
Sodium hexametaphosphate is a totally harmless substance that is also used in toothpaste. It probably effects the pH so that certain molecules don't denature as fast, thus "protecting the taste" as the OP pic says.

if you actually bought a bottle of plain green tea instead of intentionally showing a sugared soft drink for something to bitch about, it would match the Japanese product.

Has anybody a good recipe for southern unsweetened iced tea?
In my city in west germany it's easier to get obscure sodas from Sri Lanka then unsweet iced tea.

>>7899218
Unsweet iced tea isnt southern. Theres your answer.

>>7899113
the sugary soft drink green tea is way more common than the plain green tea
even then, the non sugary green teas still aren't just green tea + water
it's green tea plus citric acid and a bunch of other stuff to make sure that the tea tastes the way americans want green tea to taste

>>7894256
There's tons of unsweetened brands in the US. If nobody's buying them why the fuck are they on my local con store and supermarket shelves? Shit like Pure Leaf, Tea's Tea, Gold Peak, even lipton has an unsweetened variety.

Also: it's 2016. All your weeb teas get imported over here anyway.

Water is constantly reacting with itself, forming conjugate acid and Base. The temperature of the water can cause the pH to change due to its effect on this reaction. Your tap water is normally closer to 7.5 anyways

Oh look, it's another one of those threads where we cherrypick the bad things Americans do and the good things other cultures do.

It's not like we have three dozen of these every hour.

Unsweetened, unflavoured Green Tea is just not a thing in the west. Personally I prefer it simple, but then of course I am a huge weeb. The part i really don't understand is why they use sugar and not artificial sweetener. I small amounts the difference is not that obvious and it would make a 0 cal beverage. Same goes for yoghurt, milkshakes, kefir, buttermilk, pudding etc. People would get 500 cal less a day.

That's a fundamental misunderstanding of the law of diminishing returns right there. It means that you get less enjoyment out of a product once you're inundated with it, NOT that more product is a negative thing. The actual graph would look like a sharp upward curve flattening off to the horizont about 2/3s the way across. After a certain point, more X makes you no happier, but it won't make you UN-happy.

Alternatively, relable the X-axis "proximity to other product" or "rate of consumption".

1) The right bottle isn't "green tea" and has marketing that says it's a green tea drink, or green tea flavoured beverage, but they can't say it's green tea.
2) People in Japan actually want to taste the green tea, the market for people in the US of people buying bottles of tea want sweetened tea
3) The people in the US that drink normal-unsweetened tea brew it themselves, because there's few brands of unsweet bottled teas since it's not popular here like in Japan and the fewer brands are more expensive, making it not worth the price
4) Lipton brand sucks, anyway I'm pretty sure it's lipton from that retarded bottle shape, and is super popular in the south because it's a shitty bland tea used to make sweet tea. Why would lipton sell something unsweetened especially bottled tea if they're well-known for sweet tea?
