I don't believe this tea's brewed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

atheist

'i don't believe' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'this tea's brewed' is the wordplay.
'brewed' indicates an anagram.
'this'+'tea'='thistea'
'thistea' with letters rearranged gives 'ATHEIST'.

(Other definitions for atheist that I've seen before include "One who does not believe in the existence of a god" , "Disbeliever in gods" , "Person who does not believe in existence of a god" , "One denying existence of a god" , "One not believing in gods" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
