“It’s not my cup of tea.”

My informant mentioned that both parents growing up would use this phrase. Their British mother would use it more than their father, who is Irish. The phrase though has always been in their lives. They would use it to explain that they didn’t like something or that it wasn’t for them.

This proverb is an English idiom that means something is not to you’re liking or preference. The English, in my opinion, use this proverb in a polite way to say that they aren’t enjoying/are not interested in something.
