Scents: Pears · Earl Grey Tea · Honey · Hand-poured in: North Carolina, USA · From: $11.99 (wax melts)
This pear tea candle is the quiet end of a very large dinner — poached pears, Earl Grey going cold in the pot, and honey stirred in by somebody who has stopped listening to the conversation.
It is made for holiday classics, big-family novels, and the specific relief of slipping away from the table with a book once the plates are cleared. Like every Aarka Origins candle, it is truly handmade: hand-poured in small batches in North Carolina from 100% pure soy wax, with no paraffin and no blends.
PEARS · EARL GREY TEA · HONEY
Fragrance family: Fruity & Tea
Bergamot is the note that makes Earl Grey what it is, and it is volatile — it lifts fast and disappears faster. Anchoring it to honey and poached pear is what gives it staying power here, so the tea is still recognisable an hour into the burn rather than only at the start. Hand-poured in small North Carolina batches, part of a range of 280+ book-inspired scents.
Soft, fruity, and aromatic. The pear tea candle is poached pear over bergamot-heavy Earl Grey with honey underneath — a refined, gently sweet scent rather than a spiced holiday one.
It is one of the most elegant gifts in the batch for a tea-and-books reader, and a good holiday gift for someone who dislikes cinnamon. Wax melts from $11.99 make it an easy pairing with a tea tin.
It is. Holiday Feast is hand-poured in small batches at Aarka Origins' North Carolina shop from 100% pure soy wax — no paraffin, no wax blends, no dyes, and a lead-free cotton wick. The fragrance oils are phthalate-free, vegan, and never tested on animals.
Trim the wick to 1/4" before each burn and keep burns to about two hours at a time for the cleanest, most even melt pool. Browse the full book lover soy candle collection.
