No tea is brewed in this country (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

estonia

'this country' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'no tea is brewed' is the wordplay.
'brewed' indicates an anagram.
'no'+'tea'+'is'='noteais'
'noteais' with letters rearranged gives 'ESTONIA'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for estonia that I've seen before include "Country due S. of Finland" , "So eat in about here in Northern Europe" , "European republic, became independent again in 1991" , "So eat in poorly on the Baltic Sea" , "Country on the Baltic Sea" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
