Dear Spotlight team and Andew Devis
How are you?
British Idioms
Not My Cup of Tea
First, I would like to tell you that I like so much the word of the day. I have learned several important meaning of words and idioms. Thanks!
I think that expression is a very interesting one ” Not my cup of tea to refuse an invitation from someone. Here, we use several idioms, too. However, we use that “It is not my beach” when someone invite us to do something in which we do not like to do that. So we say, I am sorry It is not my beach. It is the same to say, I do not like to do that, or I do not enjoy it. “Not my cup of tea” here = “It is not my beach” Translating it to my mother language = não é minha praia. Finally, it is an informal idioms for us. It is a slang.
Thank you so much! I appreciate it
Stay with God.

Here in my country, Brazil, We say ” Não é a minha praia” translating to English to say ” “It’s not my Beach! ” We say it when We don’t get interest about something.
Thanks for explaining this idiom!
It’s a great and polite way to say or express something you don’t like or enjoy to do. For example: Waking up early on weekends is not my cup of tea! LOL!
I’m from Dominican Republic and in my native country we say ‘Eso no es lo mio’ (That’s not my thing) or ‘Eso no va conmigo’ (That doesn’t go with me), which means the exact same thing. It’s a clear and useful explanation. Thanks for sharing.
