A drop of tea ~n right? (4)

I believe the answer is:

tear

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a drop' is the definition.
(teardrop)

'tea n right?' is the wordplay.
'n right?' becomes 'r' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tea'+'r'='TEAR'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tear that I've seen before include "Shred" , "Split - career" , "charge" , "Rip, pull apart" , "'A rip, binge or drop of saline solution (4)'" .)
