Southern Sweet Tea, Wooden Wick, Soy Wax Candle Sun Steeped Black Tea, Bergamot, Cane Sugar and just a touch of citrus...just like we make for front porch sipping out of mason jars. Note Profile- Top- Sugar Middle- Black Tea Base- Bergamot, Citrus This candle smells just like the sweet Southern classic tea. Sweet and fruity with strong tea and sugar. I remembering drinking "iced tea" for the first time away from home as a kid and learning that most people in Indiana, including restaurants, don't put sugar in their iced tea. These days I substitute sweetener for the sugar, sometimes I make that simple syrup I grew up on. This candle is calorie free, so no worries... •100% Midwest Soy wax •Natural Patented Lumentique wood wick •Handmade •Phthalate Free ABOUT OUR PROCESS Our ingredients are Responsibly sourced, American grown, Vegan, Carbon Neutral, Cherblty Free and Handmade in Indiana.

Our candles are 100% soy wax, paraben and phthalate-free, paraffin and palm oil free, cruelty-free, and vegan. Always consult your veterinarian to be certain that candles can be used in the same space with your familiar and exercise caution with open flames around them. ----CANDLE BURNING INSTRUCTIONS---- The basics of lighting and enjoying your wooden wick candle are simple, but there are a few things to keep in mind- ✂It is IMPORTANT to trim a wooden wick to 1/8” – 3/16”, and no longer. If the wick is too long, the wax will not pull up the wick, and the flame will dim or even extinguish. ⛔️NEVER remove wax from around the wick, it starves the wick and creates a tunnel. If your wooden wick is extinguishing shortly after lighting it, trimming is the problem. Simply give it a trim with wick trimmers, nail clippers or simply snap the char off with your fingers or tap if off with your lighter and remove the wick bits, light it at the wax level and you'll be crackling away!!

Although millions of Americans regularly use scented products without any negative effects, it is always possible that a particular fragrance might trigger a negative reaction in a very small percentage of sensitive individuals. Individuals with known sensitivities to specific fragrances may want to avoid products of those scents. In addition, consumers should remember to burn all candles, whether scented or unscented, in a well-ventilated area and test skincare products in a small area before use.
