Tea bags in this type of teapot? (5)
I believe the answer is:
china
'this type of teapot?' is the definition.
(as in a china teapot)
'tea bags in' is the wordplay.
'tea' becomes 'cha' (cha is a type of tea).
'bags' means one lot of letters goes inside another (bag can mean secures or steals).
'cha' placed around 'in' is 'CHINA'.
(Other definitions for china that I've seen before include "service" , "Large country; mate" , "bud" , "Where one regularly unloads junk" , "friend or companion" .)
