If you’re someone who treasures quiet moments, cozy corners, and thoughtfully brewed tea, you probably already know the power of a good candle. The soft flicker, the gentle scent, the ambiance it creates—it's a ritual we love. But not all candles are created equal.

🌴 What Is Coconut Wax?
Coconut wax is made by harvesting the meat of coconuts and cold-pressing it into oil. That oil is then hydrogenated to create a creamy, slow-burning wax. Unlike some other waxes that rely on heavy processing or chemicals, coconut wax is clean, sustainable, and ethically produced.
🔥 The Benefits of Coconut Wax Candles
1. Cleaner Burn, Healthier Air
One of the biggest concerns with candles—especially those made with paraffin—is indoor air quality. Paraffin is derived from petroleum and can release soot and toxins when burned.
Our coconut wax burns clean, producing little to no soot. That means:
-
No black residue on your walls
-
Fewer indoor air pollutants
-
A healthier atmosphere in your home - breathe easier with every burn
2. Longer Burn Time
Coconut wax has a low melting point, which means it burns slower and cooler than other waxes. Ours burns for on average 50 hours, that translates to:
-
Longer-lasting candles
-
More consistent scent release
-
Better value for your investment
A small candle, big moments—again and again.
3. Exceptional Scent Throw
If you love your home to smell amazing, coconut wax delivers. Its creamy texture holds fragrance oils beautifully and releases them slowly and evenly. Customers say this candle provides a pleasant “cold throw” whether it’s lit or not!
-
Cold throw (when the candle isn’t lit): Strong and true to the scent
-
Hot throw (when burning): Full, balanced, and room-filling
Whether you're lighting our clean burning Cashmere Plum or Smoked Vanilla, expect a beautiful aroma from start to finish.
4. Sustainable & Eco-Friendly
Coconut wax is one of the most sustainable candle waxes available. Coconuts:
-
Grow quickly and abundantly
-
Require minimal water and pesticides
-
Don’t need deforestation to farm
Compared to soy, which is often genetically modified and linked to large-scale farming practices, coconut wax is a gentler choice for the planet.
Good for your space. Good for the Earth.
5. Luxurious Look & Feel
We’ll say it—coconut wax just looks better. It’s smooth, creamy, and has a soft white finish that adds a premium touch to any candle. It blends beautifully with other natural waxes (like apricot or soy) but holds its own in elegance and performance.

With our coconut wax, you don’t have to choose between performance, health, and sustainability—you get it all. At The Tea & Candle Company we craft our candles to bring you the cleanest, longest-lasting, and most aromatic burn possible—because we believe small luxuries make a big impact.
