Something relaxing brought over, for example tea (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

massage

'something relaxing' is the definition.
(a massage might relax you)

'brought over for example tea' is the wordplay.
'brought over' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'for example' becomes 'eg' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'tea' becomes 'assam' (I've seen this before).
'eg'+'assam'='egassam'
'egassam' written backwards gives 'MASSAGE'.

(Other definitions for massage that I've seen before include "Treatment by hand" , "See 10" , "Present favourably" , "Relaxing manipulation" , "therapeutic treatment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
