Have the tea at a cooler temperature.
heat the tea and stir it. this will allow you to dissolve more sugar in the tea, causing it to be supersaturated. once the tea cools some sugar may fall to the bottom.
Assuming that all of the sugar that could be dissolved, is dissolved at that temperature and pressure, it would be a super saturated solution.
By heating the saturated sugar solution, and then adding more sugar.
The variable for both sugar and salt is temperature: more sugar or salt will dissolve in water at a higher temperature. The amount of water is also a factor, since more water will be able to dissolve more sugar or salt.
In a Solution i.e your tea, only so much sugar can Dissolve. If you put loads of sugar into your tea, it can become a saturated solution. This means that the excess molecules of the sugar have no more room to dissolve into the tea, therefore it just sets at the bottom like sand.More Information:It is possible that enough sugar was added to the tea to saturate it, at which point no more sugar would dissolve, but that takes a lot of sugar. So, it is more likely that more time was needed for the sugar to dissolve. This process can be hastened by inverting the sugar (by adding a bit of lemon juice and/or corn syrup [glucose])
More sugar can dissolve in water than salt.

Let's imagine the following objects first: Sugar cubes are solid blocks, each with a comparatively larger volume. Granulated sugar is fine and particulate, and each grain has a very small volume. It is only logical that when comparing one block of sugar to one grain of sugar, that the grain dissolves faster because it has a smaller volume (less to dissolve), and the surface area to volume ratio is much higher.

Sugar is more soluble.
Well it could be any pH because water which has a pH of 7(neutral) can dissolve things for example sugar. But if it is more acidic (a lower pH) it will probably dissolve things quicker.

Granulated sugar has more surface area exposed to the coffee, therefore it will dissolve faster.
Granulated sugar would dissolve faster because there is more surface area exposed to the water.
most things dissolve faster in hot water.
