The Story Behind This Candle

On December 16, 1773, colonial protesters dumped tea into Boston Harbor in an act of resistance that helped propel the colonies toward revolution.

We chose Black Tea to bring the Boston Tea Party back to the tea itself: an everyday pleasure that became the center of an extraordinary act of defiance. The comforting aroma of freshly steeped tea is deep, gently earthy, and familiar, inviting you to slow down and breathe it in.

A welcoming scent for a quiet afternoon, with a spirited piece of American history in every lighting.
