teashop

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

'a place of refreshment' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'to phase out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'to'+'phase'='tophase'
'tophase' with letters rearranged gives 'TEASHOP'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for teashop that I've seen before include "Cafe (paradoxically?)" , "Place of refreshments" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
