BIG BANG COMPANY
Owner: Elina Fleyshgakker
Elina Fleyshgakker is an Economics student turned Coffee Roaster! After almost 10 years of working as a barista, she knew she had found her passion. An internship allowed Elina to live and work on a coffee farm in Kona, Hawaii; where she spent an entire year learning the art of roasting. She processed coffee from the seeds that were put in the ground to the cups that were brewed for breakfast. When she realized she could impact the quality of life for people in developing countries she went into business for herself.
