The reason for this is because saying "I don't like it." can sound a little abrupt or even rude.
So to euphemise it a little, you can say "It's not my cup of tea."

But saying "I like it." or "I love it." isn't rude at all, so that is more common than saying:
"It is my cup of tea."
because you don't need to euphemise it(make it sound nicer).

A: I haven’t played chess in ages

‘Let’s play a game of chess.’
