The way to blend teas (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

east

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the way' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'blend teas' is the wordplay.
'blend' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'teas' anagrammed gives 'EAST'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for east that I've seen before include "Airport near Derby" , "Ninety degree bearing" , "4 dn 17 dn" , "Direction of the rising sun" , "One of four at table" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
