The phrase one's cup of tea is the same as not your cup of tea,Both have the same origin.People in England are very particular about the tea they drink.There are so many varieties and they won't drink any other variety other than the one they are to.It's matter of test.So anything that one is not used to came to be called not one's cup of tea

It's kinda ridiculous too, we brew coffee only for it to stand 20 minutes before we HAVE TO throw it away. It's such a waste. What sucks is that when we throw it away, there's always a large group of people that come in and order coffee.
