unsweetened tea
Plain steeped leaves
Tea served without added sugar or sweeteners.
In most of the United States, ordering iced tea gets you unsweetened tea by default, but in the South, where sweet tea dominates, you must specify: I'll have the unsweetened tea, please.
The term applies to both hot and cold preparations.
