Black Tea is a classic punch recipe ingredient

Maybe I'm just naive, but shouldn't this recipe specify sweet black tea? I tried this last night on a whim with Bacardi Gold (because that's what I had on hand) and some sun tea I'd just made and it was a watered-down bleh. I was poised for disappointment, but the results were far less. I'm ashamed to have done that to my precious Cointreau.

ETA: Just because I live in Dixie doesn't mean I assume all iced tea is sweet.
