I think you've mixed me up with that other bloke you were speaking with. I'm American myself, residing in the great state of Ohio. I can understand the mix-up though, as I tend toward some mannerisms that come from across the pond. I was born in Germany and traveled around Europe and GB extensively, so I've some ways about my speech that aren't, perhaps, typical.
They tend to make iced tea in Ohio much like they do in the South as far as sugar content, though the fruit we often add is lemons. I know what you mean about the peaches too, as I spent a year in Georgia for some of my military training and enjoyed fruit-sweetened iced tea far better than the stuff made from pallets of sugar.
I tend to like specific varieties in certain situations, such as Indian spiced chai (only time I put cream in my tea) with my sweet potato curry, black pearls with my breakfast foods, Japanese green or a white tea for tea time, an herbal blend for evenings and on the rare occasion I'm having tea for dinner instead of wine or beer, it's usually an oolong to accompany my Korean or Chinese cuisine.
I could wax endlessly about a lovely cup of tea, but I'd hate to be a bore.
