The Side-by-Side: Venn x Artem
Four bags, two roasters, built to be enjoyed in parallel.
Open all four and swap between them throughout the week.
1. Open these together
Same brief, striking contrast:
Venn Berwick St. Classic chocolate and nutty crowd pleaser.
Artem Artemisium. Artem’s take on the same idea, totally different cup. Subtle plummy notes we keep coming back to.
2. Then bring this in
Venn Petra St. Two Brazils and a touch of Ethiopia. More layered than Berwick, still very drinkable.
3. Save this one for later in the journey
Artem PCX Exclusive. Pungent, unusually sweet, rewards a careful dial in. The beans alone smell remarkable. Save it for week 3 or 4, once you’ve clocked the others.
