Chap inside stole tea (5)
I believe the answer is:
bohea
'tea' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'chap inside stole' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'he'.
'inside' indicates putting letters inside.
'stole' becomes 'boa' (both can mean a type of scarf).
'he' inserted inside 'boa' is 'BOHEA'.
(Other definitions for bohea that I've seen before include "Bowl-shaped aerial" , "Variety of black China tea" , "Low-quality black China tea" , "Type of tea" , "Black Chinese tea" .)
