I’d always tell friends how much I enjoy ‘consuming books,’ but now I mean it

As a bookworm and a foodie, this might sound very peculiar but, I’ve always* wondered what actually consuming a book would taste like. Is that strange? * I have used the same phrase “I like consuming books” a lot but because I am very analytical and think (probably too deeply) about everything, I ended up gazing into the sky, deep in thought about what a book would taste like. When I buy some book flavoured tea, I will finally find out. My parents will think I’m insane for asking for book flavoured tea but I don’t care😂
I can't believe that Ruby dosen't has a page for tea favorites in her yearly/academic planner. That would actually be really cool! :D
Ruby's videos are very therapeutic she has such an aesthetic life and I'm living for it

@@RubyGranger8 yes it's okay to take a break and don't work 15 hours a day every day. Sometimes if we do something that isn't that special for work but is meaningful to us in other ways. It could just be reading a book going out with friends or even playing a videogame. If it makes you feel good, if it gives you a nice memory, if it gives you a worthy experience then it's meaningful and it's good that it happened that you did it and you don't have to feel guilty or ashamed for not being particularly productive because you have prioritised a different part of your life.

I've been using your wording and it's honestly so much nicer! Meaningful meaning your week isn't full of work and there's time for family and friends and private relaxation, with a healthy balance of productive work

So calm and soothing. These are the vlogs I'm living for.
my candlit library tea arrived today, ive had 4 cups of it today, i didnt think it was possible for my favourite tea to change from B&B chocolate digestive tea, but this is my new favourite. I love everything about that tea company so for my favourite youtuber to do a collab is the dream team. Thanks for sharing the process, it was great to watch :)
Congratulations on the creation and launch of your tea! You poured such care into it's creation, I am sure it will be a success.
How fun!!! Aww Ruby! What a neat experience!🤗🍁🍂
I smiled without any interruption during the whole video, the vibe is immaculate 😍🥰 congratulations for this beautiful collaboration, Ruby !

I can't wait to try your tea Ruby, it's on its way to me (along with a few more bird and blend teas!) Congratulations on the launch and Thank you so much for sharing the journey.
This is so exciting!!! Congrats Ruby on all the amazing things you're doing!

So excited for you! You are such a decent and geniune person who deserves every wonderful opportunity that comes your way
Not only so exciting, but so interesting too! I absolutely loved watching the process and it made me feel calm on a day I needed it x Of course I went and bought some immediately - can't wait to taste it xx
Congratulations Ruby! Such a beautiful experience! I love tea and I hope the brand deliver your creation to France ❤
I'm American and I just love watching your vlogs it just feels like Christmas is near when I watch them, and like I am at home reading Harry Potter while drinking tea with my puppies hence why I love your videos so much! Your videos are free therapy and it reminds me of my love for London! I miss it! ❤
It sounds like you had an incredible time. I imagine it was a complete multisensory experience. I loved learning about the process of creating tea blends.
Thank you for this vlog ! It is both extremely interesting to see the process of how blends are created, and so so so cosy and comforting to watch as well
I love tea but have never really considered the process. The excitement of you and Chrissie was totally captivating. I have a new appreciation and definitely cannot wait to try the new tea ☕️x
This was so interesting!!! Congrats Ruby! ❤️🍄🍓🥰
That’s just so exciting for you Ruby, congratulations. There is nothing like a hot drink and a book in hand, the best way to describe that feeling is like getting a warm comforting hug. My hot drink of choice is a hot chocolate.
everything about this is just so lovely!
This is so fun and cool Ruby!
your experience sounds so magical! the tea sounds delicious and i'm going to buy it as soon as possible! so excited!
The whole video I just had a smile on my face! I can’t wait to try it.
You've come a long way Ruby, congrats🤗
Absolutely love you! I bought some to be shipped all the way to Canada because you are a genuine KZreadr with a good heart and seeing you partner with such an incredible brand who has incredible beliefs, morals and integrity made me want to give your collab a try and try some other teas as well! Thanks for always being a safe space and bringing some calm to our lives! 😊❤
aww this is so wholesome!
Oh my god what a fun activity and it’s so you! I kinda want to do something like this now too 😅
This is amazing, congratulations!! 🤩 This was such a lovely and interesting video to watch. I’m definitely planning on ordering some, it sounds delicious. Thanks so much for introducing me to Bird and Blend, it’s a wonderful company. I’m so excited to have their advent calendar for this year! 💗
each time I was ordering from them because of you, I mentioned your channel in the wee comments section when placing the order! Can't wait to try this one x
Aaaaaah this is huge!!! Congratulations!
I’ve been a fan and watching your videos for years! I’ve always wondered how you never did a sort of collab with a tea company. The moment you announced it, I was so excited for you Ruby! This is awesome and I will definitely be buying to try it out!!
The title made me sooo interested to watch it like there are book characters fragrance candle too!!!! Love you rubyyy !!!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗💜💜💜💜👌👌👌
I've been waiting to find the perfect book tea and Ruby has gifted it to us!
This is the most amazing thing ever!!
I used to watch you all the time when I was 12. I’m 15 now, and came back on a whim, and I’m so glad to see you’re doing well and that your content is just as warm and inviting as it was before. I don’t know why but your channel reminds me of autumn: aesthetic and really cozy:> I hope I’ll be able to buy your tea! A book-flavoured one is a writer’s dream come true.
Very much looking forward to getting my tea!!! Just has to travel all the way over to me in Australia. Congratulations Ruby on your tea collaboration 🎉
Congratulations Ruby and Bird and Blend. What a great idea and collaboration. Kindly, C.

Oh my gosh this is the perfect time for this video!! Because I just got my birthday money & I wanted to buy myself a nice tea, and I went to the teashop in my city literally today but I couldn't find one I really liked the look of. But the one you made looks amazing and exactly like what I was after - such a coincidence that I just found this video now!
this is such a cute idea 💗 love it!!
This vlog is so ruby. I just can't ❤️🙈
My order arrived today, and I just tried the tea, I really enjoy it!! Very nice flavour
Congratulations on the collaboration and launch of your tea! I also drink a lot of tea, and am studying herbal medicine, so I've been intrigued by the thought of blending my own teas for several years. Thank you for showing the whole process, it was really interesting! I would love to purchase some, but I see from other comments that shipping costs will probably make it too expensive for me to justify.
Congratulations Ruby 👍
OMG yes, Krisi!! The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet is the VERY BEST BOOK and I recommend it to everyone I know! Even the folks that aren't into sci-fi love it!
Omgggg this is soooo COOL!!!😍😍😍 I really wished I could try it😭 Wonderful job Ruby😃

Hello I discovered your youtube Chanel few weeks ago . I am French . This experience of making your own tea is amazing ! I would have loved trying it but it is actually sold out as I discovered it too late . I tant to tell you that i love your chanel . I practice my English . ❤
You should get a milk frother and try frothing your milk before you add it to the tea. Brings it to a whole other level! ❤
