Legend has it that the people of Ngozi Province are always in good spirits. It's said that they spread joy and happiness wherever they go ... it's something we can certainly attest to, seeing it first hand when we visited Rugori Washing StationWashing stationA central mill where many smallholder farmers deliver cherry for processing. In Ethiopia, Kenya, and Rwanda the station name (e.g. Idido) often identifies the coffee.. In Burundi, legend says that joy and happiness are qualities fit for a King, which is where Rugori gets its name. Translated from Kirundi, Rugori means crown. Enjoy!
