Default Fruit Tea's

Anyone else have a deep mistrust of male colleagues that drink fruit tea ? Men drink Coffee or PGTips not
Elderflower Rosehip and spice tea, thats for the "Health Princess" in the office, you know the one, all she eats is fruit and bits of Carrot and looks with disdain at anything that inst Low GI, High Fibre and totally tedious, will probably live until she is 130 but be a miserable po faced bitch all the way.

To me its like Pot Pourri with water tipped on, I have tried it but its so lame, needs about 12 sugars in, some of them sound nice but they are all **** !

The Mrs drinks raspberry leaf tea. She couldn't get enough of it when she was pregnant. I don't know any men who drink it though.

Fruit teas are gay as **** although I did have a stint at drinking Mint tea due to a bit of ill health, it was shite too!

I only do Nambarrie tea these days


My grannie makes tea to die for from Nambarrie teabags but I have never been able to recreate the same awesome taste.

Blokes with prostrate cancer often drink some of the fruit teas as they're meant to be beneficial - don't disagree with the general thrust of the thread, just be careful is all - they may not want to be drinking them, either!

I sometimes drink a fruit tea in the afternoon. No caffeine after lunch works best for me

Not a fan of fruit tea.... Do like green tea or white tea first thing in the morning, ginger tea in the afternoon and the odd peppermint tea in the evening.

In saying that it was a very lovely little female from London with whom I used to share an office that got me drinking them.

Oh this sort of post is great. If only S'net had been around in the seventies we could have weeded out the pansies - although that doesn't actually make sense because you wouldn't weed a pansy - personally I'm partial to the odd Peppermint tea to aid my delicate digestion and you have to have jasmine tea with a Chinese meal surely? Otherwise I only drink really strong coffee obviously, and plenty of it too, grrrrr

Men and fruit tea = definite gheyers

Even more obvious than wearing a short sleeved shirt to work (except if you drive a bus)
