Total Burn Time: 5 hours per candle
Burn Tips:
- Allow your melt pool to establish before extinguishing and burn in a draft-free environment.
- These are refills: no metal cup, no waste. Be sure to place your tea light into a snug, heat-safe holder before lighting. Without a container, the wax will spill and the candle won’t burn properly.
Illuminate your space with the warm, natural glow of our handcrafted beeswax tea lights. Each tea light is carefully made from 100% pure, locally sourced beeswax, offering a burn time of up to 5 hours, significantly longer than standard paraffin or soy-based tea lights on the market.
Enjoy a cleaner, soot-free burn that not only brightens your surroundings but also fills the air with the subtle, honeyed scent of beeswax. Perfect for creating a cozy atmosphere during dinner parties, meditation sessions, or a peaceful evening at home, our beeswax tea lights are the mindful choice for those who value sustainability, quality, and a touch of natural elegance in their daily rituals. Experience the difference of a truly long-lasting and eco-friendly candle.


Burn Tips for Tea Lights
To preserve the life of your candle I suggest you follow the guidelines listed below.
Burn Times
Let your tea light burn until the wax is fully melted (typically 2+ hours). Blowing it out early shortens its total burn life and may cause tunneling.
Wick Wisdom
Before each use, trim the wick to 1/4”.
Light the wick from the base of the wick (where the wick comes out of the candle) to allow the beeswax to absorb into the wick.
If your wick does any of the following, it likely needs to be trimmed:
- Flame Height: The flame is excessively high (more than 1 inch).
- Flickering Flame: The flame flickers or dances frequently, indicating an uneven burn.
- Smoke Production: Black smoke visible, which is a sign of an overly long wick.
- Mushrooming Wick: The wick forms a mushroom shape at the tip, which can cause soot and uneven burning.
- Large Melt Pool: The melt pool is unusually large and deep, consuming wax too quickly.
- Irregular Flame: The flame becomes irregular or starts to sputter.
CONTAINER REQUIRED
Slow Burn tea lights are refills: no metal cup, no waste. Be sure to place your tea light into a snug, heat-safe holder before lighting. Without a container, the wax will spill and the candle won’t burn properly.
MINDFUL MOMENT
Our tea lights are made for meaningful pauses: light one for your morning journaling, a slow evening soak, or a quiet moment between tasks. Let the flame mark the transition.
Safety
Candle safety is all about remembering that a candle is an open flame and treating it accordingly. In addition, please consider the following:
- Never leave burning candles unattended.
- Never burn a candle on or near anything that might catch fire.
- Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets.

Expectional quality
Every Slow Burn candle is made by hand out of the home studio of our founder, Sara Wait, in St. Paul, MN, using 100% pure beeswax sourced from local, family-run apiaries. The wax is triple-filtered for purity, then poured with intention into beautifully curated molds or hand dipped with care. Each candle is designed to burn cleanly and slowly, reflecting Slow Burn’s deep commitment to sustainability, artistry, and exceptional quality.
