These tea breaks for one who appreciates work! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aesthete

'one who appreciates work' is the definition.
(someone who appreciates aesthetics)

'these tea breaks' is the wordplay.
'breaks' indicates anagramming the letters.
'these'+'tea'='thesetea'
'thesetea' anagrammed gives 'AESTHETE'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for aesthete that I've seen before include "One has a special appreciation of art and beauty" , "He has good taste" , "Person of refined taste" , "Lover of art and beauty" , "One affecting great love of the arts - the tease (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
