Our clean-burning, non-toxic beeswax tea lights are a beautiful way to bring warmth into any space. Use just one to accent a special photo, or use a dozen to fill a room with starlight. Regardless of how you use them, you can be certain that our tea lights will burn clean and bright for up to 5 hours. And be sure to check out our recycled glass tea light holders below.
Our Tea Lights are available in Raw and Ivory Beeswax. They are also available in clear cups, aluminum cups, or refills (no cup). The refills will fit in the clear cups which can be reused again and again.

Pure Beeswax Tea Lights Dimensions & Care
- Clear cup tealight = 1.5in (dia.) x 0.75in (ht.)
- Metal cup tealight = 1.5" (dia.) x .63in (ht.)
- REFILL Tea Lights are built to refill our clear cups. If you are using a refill tea light in your own holder, be sure that holder is just big enough to fit the tea light and no larger, otherwise you will get far less burn time.
- Generally speaking beeswax tea lights are incredibly low maintenance, pretty much a set and forget candle that requires minimal care. However, there are some steps you can take to maximize total burn time:
- While not required, you can trim the wick to 1/4" before first lighting for an ultra-efficient burn. After that, tea light wicks don't need trimming.
- To maximize overall burn time let your beeswax tea light burn at least 1.5 hours per burn. This will ensure all of the wax is melted and used.
- When a beeswax tea light is towards the end of its life, let it burn till it goes out. This too will lengthen the overall burn time.
- Always burn candles on a level surface and nudge wicks back to center if they wander. The poly cups are heat-safe, but they should never be in sustained contact with the actual candle flame. Never leave a lit candle unattended.
