Kind of elaborate tea urn (6)
I believe the answer is:
nature
'kind' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'elaborate tea urn' is the wordplay.
'elaborate' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'tea'+'urn'='teaurn'
'teaurn' anagrammed gives 'NATURE'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for nature that I've seen before include "Character, disposition" , "Picturesque countryside" , "Basic character" , "All non-artificial phenomena" , "Disposition; temper" .)
