While I agree with the major part of the answer, “sweet” can also come from artificial sweeteners. Learned to read the labels carefully thanks to a food intolerance...

While checking the ingredients I found a component is used called  - Acesulfame Potassium. After some internet search found this element as a calorie-free sweetener and is up to 200 times sweeter than regular table sugar. This is apart from their description "Flavor and Artificial Flavor" within that list.
Also they have 1 net carb per tablespoon serving.

<p>Recently I fond some interest on flavored instant coffee from brands like Nescafe and other brands.
Flavors as Hazelnut, Caramel, Vanilla, Toffee as such are quite attractive, but since I am on sugar restriction I wonder from these "Artificial" or "Natural" flavors as say in the Ingredients description have any added sugar contents to it to enhance the flavor.</p>
