8" Beeswax Taper Candles
Description
Each taper is crafted in Colorado by dipping cotton wick into molten beeswax more than 20 times, building up a balanced candlestick for long, dripless burns. When lit, the raw tapers release a subtle sweet honey aroma — the hallmark of pure beeswax — and burn one hour per inch. They’re as practical as they are beautiful.
- 8" x 0.875"
- 100% pure beeswax
- Free of paraffin, soy or synthetic fragrances.
- Approx. 8 hour burn time

A note from the owner of Bluecorn Candles: "In the winter of 1991, my home was a tiny, one-room cabin in Telluride, Colorado. It was there that my friend “Baker” Steve taught me how to dip a beeswax candle. With no electricity, we worked by candlelight, often dipping well into morning. When finished, we could barely move through the cabin while hundreds of still-warm tapers hung from rope strung wall-to-wall. More than three decades later, this legacy of simple, spirited living is at the heart of what we do at Bluecorn. We make candles from clean, natural ingredients — honoring the bees that gather the pollen and create the wax, as well the craftspeople that build our candles with presence and care. In today's all-too-busy world, the act of lighting a flame inspires us to pause, connect and be more mindful — to feel more at peace. It's an opportunity to return to simple."
