Frequently Asked Questions
How are Closterra candles made?
Our slim beeswax tapers are hand-dipped at our family-owned production facility in Lithuania. Colored tapers are dipped in tinted beeswax, so the color runs through the candle rather than sitting only on the surface. Once finished, they are hand-packed in the USA.
Where can I buy Closterra beeswax candles?
Closterra beeswax candles are available online at closterra.com and through our official storefronts on Etsy, eBay, and Walmart. We ship across the United States. On closterra.com, you can order in smaller quantities or buy in bulk. Website orders qualify for free shipping at $27+. For wholesale orders, contact us to discuss available options and quantities.
Will your thin beeswax tapers fit my candle holder?
Our slim and skinny tapers are narrower than regular taper candles, so always compare the listed diameter with your holder opening. Hanukkah tapers fit most standard menorah holders measuring approximately 5⁄16–3⁄8″, but we recommend checking your menorah before ordering.
How long do beeswax taper candles burn?
Burn time varies by length and burning conditions, ranging from approximately 30 minutes to 2.5 hours. Natural yellow tapers are available from 6.3″ to 11.6″, white from 6.3″ to 10.4″, and other colors from 6.3″ to 8″.
How short should I trim the wick?
Trim the wick to about ¼″ (6–7 mm) before each burn. This helps keep the flame calm and reduces the chance of smoke, soot, or uneven burning.
