Brazil has particular coffee? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brown

'coffee?' is the definition.
(coffee is a kind of brown)

'brazil has particular' is the wordplay.
'brazil' becomes 'br'.
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'particular' becomes 'own' (I've seen this in another clue).
'br'+'own'='BROWN'

(Other definitions for brown that I've seen before include "Labour PM, b. 1951" , "Fry in a pan until it changes colour" , "cook to a rich colour?" , "After half portion of bran, have" , "Colour (of the PM?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
