You're saying something is not to your liking. Like if a boy walks by and your friend is like "isn't he hot" and you say "not my cup of tea" then you are saying you don't think he's hot.

If something is not your cup of tea, it means you don't like it very much. He/she is not of your type.

well...I feel it has more to do with ones interests....
Like "football is not my cup of tea as I have no interest in watching it and don't understand the pleasure of watching football"
Or " poetry is my cup of tea it moves me, motivates me, stirs my soul to think".

Aristocratic way of telling "I don't know".
example - Answer to the above question "not my cup of tea".
