Crossword Genius

Leaves for some refreshment (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tea

I believe this is a double definition.

'leaves' is the first definition.
(as in tea leaves)

'some refreshment' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for tea that I've seen before include "Assam, for instance" , "Assam or Darjeeling, for example" , "Oolong, for example" , "Darjeeling, e.g." , "Afternoon meal (3)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
