Beijingers, on the other hand, drink none of these – at least it used to be the case. To quench thirst the locals drink jasmine tea, which is not of tip-top quality to again say the least. Tea vendors everywhere are known to have gathered all the crops they couldn’t sell and mixed them up with the fragrant jasmine flowers - and shipped them all to the capital.
At any rate, with innumerous varieties and brands to choose from, a tea drinker invariably may pick up a cup, take a sip, put it down and say: “This is good, but really not to my taste.”
In other words, it is literally “not his cup of tea.” For Beijingers, you may be forgiven for remarking that it is “not their mug of tea” as local folks much prefer pulling their sweet jasmines from big glasses instead of tiny tea cups.
Anyways, that’s “not somebody’s tea cup”, meaning it’s not their thing.
Here are recent media examples:
1. Rihanna may not be averse to shedding her clothes for the camera, but flaunting her body for Playboy is just not her cup of tea. The Barbadian R&B singer said in a recent interview that she has received several offers to pose for the men’s magazine, but rejected them all.
“I got a few offers to do Playboy actually. They want to pay [me] to be naked on the cover,” she said on “The Angie Martinez Show.” The “Umbrella” singer said she would not have a problem posing nude as long as the photos are done in a “classy way.” “If I’m gonna take my clothes off, it has to be in a classy way and my will, not a check. I wouldn’t take any money to do that,” she said.
