When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

c'est pas ma came
Mais voici une autre expression qui s'utilise souvent, et si on a quelque chose contre "ma tasse de thé", anglicisme certes, mais bien intégré dans la langue française, voici une autre suggestion.

: Très familier donc potentiellement hors registre de langage approprié mais sinon, oui.

: "rien à voir avec moi" (nothing to do with me/not my concern) hasn't the same meaning as "pas ma tasse de thé" (not my preference/taste)

Discussion
That is not my cup of tea: ce n’est pas ma tasse de thé* OR mon truc* (* indiquant un langage familier).
Les deux passent bien.
Quant à Antidote :
cup of tea
informal – something that someone likes, enjoys, etc. — I’m sorry but ice skating is not exactly my cup of tea. ▫ She’s always in her basement woodworking—it’s her cup of tea.
⇄ familier dada ▫ passion [… truc]
Et pour changer, il est possible de dire « ça ne me passionne pas vraiment ».
