Cupping Room Collection | Rwanda Sholi Women Produced Microlot

Posted by Caffè Umbria on May 29, 2019

The coop has used these premiums to improve infrastructure - a second washing station, a community center, a regional health center, and a wastewater management facility have all been added to the...
