The November Employee of the Month is our lovely, hardworking friend Brie. She has been a dedicated member of our friendly service team for a while. And it is safe to say that no one is more qualified to show our many customers the myriad of important things we do here at Extra Special Teas than Brie is.
Her customer service skills are amazing as well as her impeccable memory, work ethic and attention to details, especially when following specific recipes in order to craft the various products that we make here. Especially our famous Tea Infused Dog Treats. She also has her playful side: Exploring different topics such as science and math, regaling us participants with many stories of her mischievous cats, grandmother's lessons and love or offering a smile and warm hugs every morning as we come into the building, either in Great Barrington or Housatonic. Brie is always friendly and willing to help out or lend a hand when needed. She always holds a warm smiling face and does very well when advocating for her friends. A particular time I can recall was when the kitchen was very busy with many people ordering lunch all at once and Brie reminded the chef, though she was very busy that “I don't think that Bear has eaten yet.” Hearing that, I was extremely touched. It felt warm to know I had a friend who was willing to go to bat for me, even when she herself didn't need to. Her attendance and multiple talents bring a kind of energy and happiness which can't be replicated.
