Allure of tea: Mev finally buys case of matcha (8)
I believe the answer is:
charisma
'allure' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'tea mev finally buys case of matcha' is the wordplay.
'tea' becomes 'char' (I've seen this before).
'mev' becomes 'i' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'finally' says to take the final letters.
'case of' means to remove the middle letters (outsides of).
'matcha' with its middle removed is 'ma'.
The last letter of 'buys' is 's'.
'char'+'i'+'s'+'ma'='CHARISMA'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for charisma that I've seen before include "Personal attractiveness" , "Glamour" , "something that fascinates many" , "power to influence" , "it inspires loyalty" .)
