Little time for tea or coffee (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mocha

'coffee' is the definition.
(type of coffee drink)

'little time for tea' is the wordplay.
'little time' becomes 'mo' (I've seen this in other clues).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tea' becomes 'cha' (cha is a type of tea).
'mo'+'cha'='MOCHA'

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for mocha that I've seen before include "Kid" , "Deep brown; a fine coffee" , "Kind of coffee" , "Coffee flavour" , "Macho (anag.); coffee with chocolate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
