Tea popular in group of cafes? (5)
I believe the answer is:
chain
'group of cafes?' is the definition.
'chain' can be an answer for 'group' (chain is a kind of group). I am not certain of the 'of cafes?' bit.
'tea popular' is the wordplay.
'tea' becomes 'cha' (cha is a type of tea).
'popular' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean trendy).
'cha'+'in'='CHAIN'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chain that I've seen before include "A measure" , "Shackle" , "Fetter" , "lots of shops?" , "group of shops here" .)
