Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼If you drink English Breakfast then you’re drinking ASSAM TEA; it’s high in caffeine (80 grams a cup) and it’s said to have a “malty” taste and aroma, attributed to the hot and humid conditions of the tea gardens in Assam, India, where the variety originated and is still cultivated. In the 1800s, when the English wanted to squeeze out as many cuppas as possible from their colonized tea growers, the Assam tea gardens were put on their own time zone, Bagan time, to conform to their farther east location (apparently, India has jumped in and out of using multiple time zones). That way everyone was up and at ’em when the sun rose.
