Angler brewed tea to be guzzled in Russian port (9)

I believe the answer is:

archangel

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

'russian port' is the definition.
(city and port in Archangelsk oblast, Russia)

'angler brewed tea to be guzzled' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'tea' could be 'cha' (cha is a type of tea) and 'cha' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'angler' is 'arngel' which is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
