Hello! I need some help. If I want to ask someone about his or her dislikes about, for example, kinds of tea or coffee or ice cream, I would say: What tea DON`T you like? Or it would be: What tea DO you NOT like? I feel like these two questions are not equal by their meaning. The constrution DON`T YOU... is using for situations when you think you know the answer but just not sure and want to clarify. Am I wrong?

They are exactly the same question. No difference in meaning. Contractions (don't) are less formal and more usual in speech, but that is the only difference.

Well, you asked a good question they can be both used, I mean both are grammatically correct you can use “What tea don’t you like?” in normal conversation while the second construction “What tea do you NOT like?” is used only when you want to emphasize the NOT or create contrast.
