Extra Special Teas

Extra Special Teas We’re a vibrant, eclectic tea house in the beautiful Berkshires of Massachusetts. We brew belonging and you can too.

Community tea house where inclusion, purpose + possibility come together for savory moments. 50+ teas; gluten-free.

2 Elm Street, Great Barrington - teas + gluten-free bakes
226 Pleasant Street, Housatonic: breakfast, lunch + afternoon tea We explore new possibilities to experience tea...and we want to share all we discover with the world! ExtraSpecialTeas is a teahouse - actually two tea houses - that employs young adults with disabilities that includes an Employment & Community-based Day Program offering unique opportunities for vocational training in a retail teahouse open to the public. Traditional employment service agencies turn away a percentage of otherwise qualified employees because they cannot meet certain daily living (ADLs) criteria. Some disabled adults find it difficult to have a place in society once they leave school. Some may get jobs working in laundry, lawn care, grocery or fast food businesses, but most simply remain at Day Habilitation Programs, receiving no vocational training or continued growth opportunities of any kind and with little, if any, exposure or integration with mainstream culture. Come visit, eat, drink and enjoy our two locations:

Fall is officially here, and we’re welcoming the season with S’more Love! 🍂

S’more Love isn’t just a tea, it’s a little reminder that the way we show up for one another can make a big difference. From making someone’s day a little brighter to caring for those around us, we’re celebrating all the ways our team spreads S’more Love. There’s always room for S’more Love. How will you spread it? 🧡

If you'd like to sip on some S'more Love this fall, visit our store or shop online to grab yours! 🫖 https://buff.ly/d6zsxYT

💛 On World Gratitude Day, our hearts are full.

Yesterday, in the pouring rain and chilly Berkshire temperatures, three incredible women crossed the Josh Billings finish line after biking, paddling and running for one very Extra Special cause.

ExtraSpecialTeas.

Stephanie McNair and her William Pitt Sotheby’s teammates began with a goal of raising $3,000 for EST. They crossed the finish line having raised an amazing $4,350. 💛

But on World Gratitude Day, we’re thinking about so much more than a number.

We’re grateful that they chose us.

We’re grateful for every person who donated, shared their fundraiser, cheered them on and believed in the work happening every day at ExtraSpecialTeas. We’re grateful for our staff and participants who braved yesterday’s cold and rain to represent EST and welcome the community. And we’re grateful for people like these three women who remind us what can happen when a community comes together around purpose, possibility and belonging.

Three Women. Three Legs. One Extra Special Cause.

Today, three very special women have given us $4,350 reasons to be grateful. 💛

Thank you, Stephanie and team. , , and .giulian. Thank you, Berkshire MA Real Estate | William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty. And thank you to everyone who helped carry ExtraSpecialTeas all the way to that finish line.

This is what it looks like when a community Brews Belonging. ☕️💛
