It’s not though is it? Can you really consider this product tea? And it definitely does not contain any ice. Therefore the product is named ice tea. If you make tea at home and put ice inside? Voila you got yourself some iced tea.
Honestly I’m surprised the EU even lets this be called tea. It really should be “tea flavoured beverage” at best in the same way they won’t let “American cheese” (the Kraft singles stuff) be called cheese, no?
Iced Tea is only really a thing in this context in the EU. Most of the people I know (myself included) never really made the connection and were surprised to find out it’s supposed to be real tea on ice, hence the name. We call it ice tea without really thinking about it, just like no one ever thought “I bet they call this coca-cola because it used to be made with cocaine”.
Honestly don’t even think it tastes like tea. To me it just tastes like “Ice Tea”.
