This clue might be a double definition.

'one who does' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'black refreshing drink?' is the second definition.
'char' can be an answer for 'drink?' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'black refreshing' bit.

'make' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for char that I've seen before include "Tea (sl.)" , "Burn; cleaner; fish" , "Drink" , "Burn lightly" , "Burn slightly" .)
