Freshly brewed tea missed cup (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

demitasse

'cup' is the definition.
(I know that demitasse is a type of coffee cup)

'freshly brewed tea missed' is the wordplay.
'freshly brewed' is an anagram indicator (letters in a fresh order).
'tea'+'missed'='teamissed'
'teamissed' with letters rearranged gives 'DEMITASSE'.

(Other definitions for demitasse that I've seen before include "Coffee-cup" , "little cup" , "Small cup for black coffee" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
