Idiom: not my cup of tea

If something is not your cup of tea it is not something you enjoy or like very much.


Examples of use:

1. Bob and Sarah have invited me to a fancy-dress party, but it's not my cup of tea so I don't think I'll go.

2. Modern art is not my cup of tea.

3. Camping is not really my cup of tea – I prefer staying in a hotel.  


This expression is common in British English. Have you heard anyone say it?
