SOBREMESA | 10" Tapers
Pickup currently not available
These 10" tapers witness the best parts of life. Named for the ritual of lingering, Sobremesa is made for the long table and deep conversations that happen after the meal is done. Pure beeswax burns clean and bright and never rushes the evening. Built layer-by-layer through traditional hand-dipping, they stay lit until the last guest leaves. The centerpiece of every gathering; a steady glow for the moments you want to hold onto.
Comes as a pair, 12-hour slow burn per candle.
Trim the wick to ¼" before each lighting.
Materials: 100% Pure Beeswax, Cotton Wick.
Kindly Note: Due to the handmade nature of our process, slight variations in texture and hue may occur—marking the unique characteristics of handmade candles.
Care
- The Wick: Trim taper and molded candle wicks to 1/4" before lighting for a clean burn. Tea lights are self trimming and the wicks do not require trimming.
- Be Mindful: Burn within sight on a level, heat-resistant surface.
- Stay Safe: Keep away from drafty areas, flammables, children, and pets.
- Burn Time: Limit burns to 4 hours at a time, and never move a candle while lit.
Bloom
You may notice a soft, misty film developing on the surface of your candles over time. This is called bloom, a natural patina unique to 100% pure beeswax.
Much like the weathering of cedar or the darkening of brass, this patina is a sign of age and purity. It is the natural oils of the wax rising to the surface, proving that your candle is free from additives or paraffin.
Bloom does not affect the burn of the candle and can be gently buffed away with a soft cloth.
THE BEAUTY OF BEESWAX
Beeswax is the oldest candle material on earth. Made by bees fueled by wildflowers, every candle carries trace elements of pollen, propolis, and honeycomb from the hive — and as it burns, releases the slow, faint memory of a sweet summer field.
It needs nothing added, nothing corrected. No additives, no synthetic fragrance, no paraffin residue. Its high melting point means it naturally burns slowly, without dripping, just a steady flame that outlasts the evening.
