You solve the puzzle with reason and logic - there’s no maths involved and no adding up. Its fun. Its challenging Its addictive. (Soln on pg 38)

The Howdah Tea & Coffee Company

By Paul Farquhar I have spent over 30 years working in the hospitality and catering trade, for over 20 of which I have had my own business, in Edinburgh, London, Spain, and France.

10 years ago my family relocated from France to my wife’s hometown of North Berwick where we were lucky to acquire The Howdah Tea & Coffee Co. It had a small presence on the high street, we moved to larger premises incorporating into a deli and it organically grew.

Last year we decided to move to Edinburgh and in September opened Howdah, located right in the heart of Stockbridge. Our design and colour scheme somewhat changed half way through the renovation as we discovered some original tiling on the walls and floor, which we have since learned date back to 1925, part of the Maypole Dairy. It seemed ludicrous to cover these back up so we have done our best to restore, embody, and welcome them back into the hussle and bussle of Stockbridge life! We are very much a sampling room, you can have a scrumptious cake or a tasty toastie, but our main focus is the retail of Beans and Leaves. We provide some well established and high end eateries within Scotland, many clubhouses, cafes and some catering companies. We have over 100 varieties of beans and leaves and we encourage our wholesale customers to spend some time tasting, and experimenting with the coffee beans to find their perfect and signature blend. We very much look forward to welcoming locals to sample what we have to offer. However if you prefer good tea and coffee in the comfort of your in home please visit our website, www.howdah.co.uk and we can easily post you some tea leaves or coffee beans, whole or ground. Or you may just find yourself unknowingly sampling our flavours after a meal or a round of golf!
