Wine and tea, no end of delight (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chablis

'wine' is the definition.
(Chablis is an example)

'tea no end of delight' is the wordplay.
'tea' becomes 'cha' (cha is a type of tea).
'no end of' means to remove the last letter.
'delight' becomes 'bliss' (I've seen this before).
'bliss' with its final letter removed is 'blis'.
'cha'+'blis'='CHABLIS'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for chablis that I've seen before include "Dry white Burgundy" , "Burgundy town and white wine" , "Dry Burgundy wine" , "Classic white wine from Burgundy" , "French town noted for white Burgundy wines" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
