Setter almost flipped — health resort has no Special Brew (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cuppa

'brew' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Refreshing brew' mean 'cuppa' so perhaps 'brew' could also mean 'cuppa')

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for cuppa that I've seen before include "Refreshing brew" , "Drink of tea (informal)" , "Drink of tea (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
