Best-Teas!

Sarah Gilani is a licensed pharmacist who loves reading to her daughter. She is a huge lover of tea, especially herbal blends, and she loves incorporating it into every aspect of life. Whether she is cooking, doing art, caring for her plants, or enjoying the outdoors, a cup of tea is always in hand.

Zina Pasha Ali is a California-credentialed elementary school teacher, an educational content creator, and a mother to two boys. She has loved any and all kinds of tea since childhood, but her ultimate favorite is karak chai, which she drinks every morning. Ask her what she loves most, and she’ll say cozying up with family and friends over a shared pot of tea and something sweet.

Sarah and Zina have been best friends since childhood, when they spent hours dreaming up silly stories together. Now, as mothers, they’ve turned their lifelong love of storytelling into a shared mission: writing books that bring young children joy. Whether it’s teatime or bedtime, they’re always on the hunt for the next great story to share with their own kids—and now, with yours.
