Tealights

Tealight cups are the smallest container pour: clear polycarbonate or aluminum cups sized for a standard tealight and its pre-tabbed wick. They are ideal for sampler sets, scent testing, and high-volume pours where you need many candles from a single batch.

Pouring Tealights

Tealights pour fast and in volume, which makes them the cheapest way to test a fragrance or color across many cups. Use a tealight-rated wick sized to the cup, and pour within your wax's recommended range. For the full container method, see our container candle guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are tealight cups made of?

We carry clear polycarbonate and aluminum tealight cups. Polycarbonate cups let the candle glow show through; aluminum cups are the traditional choice. Both are sized for a standard tealight pour and the matching tealight wick.

How many tealights does a pound of wax make?

It depends on the cup size, but a standard tealight holds roughly half an ounce of wax, so a pound of wax fills around 30 cups. Pour within your wax's recommended range and use a tealight-rated wick.

What wick do tealights need?

Tealights use a small pre-tabbed wick sized for the cup diameter. Browse candle wicks for tealight-rated assemblies, and test before a production run.
