'non-vegetarian' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'my tea can be' is the wordplay.
'can be' indicates anagramming the letters.
'my'+'tea'='mytea'
'mytea' with letters rearranged gives 'MEATY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for meaty that I've seen before include "Hearty" , "Full of substance, nourishment" , "Heavily built" , "Substantial, solid" , "Fleshy, or full of informative matter" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
