How do you say "real men drink tea" in kanji?

Thinking of putting that saying on a mug for my boyfriend.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

How about, '真の男は茶を飲む'？(Sorry this is a literal translation orz.)

thanks, but does the literal translation make sense?

Well the sentence （真の男は茶を飲む）cannot be written all in kanji. It should include some hiragana. If you want it just in kanji, you'll need a Chinese translation...

S/He did already.

Japanese is not Chinese. You cannot write a phrase like that using only kanji.

It makes sense and is understandable I think but... there may be some better/cooler sounding saying than this...
