Most 'beeswax' tea lights aren't. Blends can be mostly paraffin and still say beeswax on the bag. Bluecorn's beeswax tea lights are 100% pure beeswax, lightly filtered, with a cotton wick. Nothing else goes in.

Keep the cup. Buy the candle. Our clear cups are reusable, recyclable polycarbonate — not a foil tray you bin after one evening. When the wax is gone, drop in a cup-free refill and start again.

One long burn beats six short ones. Beeswax has a high melt point. Let a tea light burn 4–5 hours in one sitting — a dinner, a film, an evening in — and every drop of wax gets used. Two burns of about 2½ hours is the next best thing. Lots of twenty-minute burns leave wax stuck to the sides.

• How long do they burn?

  Up to 5 hours when burned in one continuous session.

• Can I refill the clear cups?

  Yes. Our cup-free refills are designed to fit these reusable clear cups.

• Do they fit standard tea light holders?

  Yes. The 1.5-inch clear cups fit standard tea light holders.

• Are they scented?

  No. Their naturally sweet, subtle aroma comes from pure beeswax.

• What are the wicks made of?

  Cotton wicks with no lead, zinc, or metal core.
