Bring tea round in porcelain (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

china

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

'porcelain' is the definition.
(china is a kind of porcelain)

'bring tea round in' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
'tea' could be 'cha' (cha is a type of tea) and 'cha' is present in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for china that I've seen before include "Delicate porcelain form Orient?" , "Porcelain; friend" , "Mate (Cockney rhyming slang)" , "Ceramic; friend (colloq.)" , "communist state" .)
