Candle Scents to Match Your Tea Mood

There’s something about the interplay of scent, taste, and atmosphere that gets me every time. Perhaps it's the romantic in me, but I truly believe that what you drink should match what you smell. In fact, every tea has its own personality—its own aura, if you will—so why not pair it with a candle that reflects that mood? Here are some tea + candle pairings that will have your senses singing in harmony.

1. Western Cape Rooibos & Sandalwood:

When you sip Western Cape Rooibos, you’re not just drinking tea—you’re grounding yourself. The earthy, slightly sweet flavor calls for something warm and soothing to match it. Enter sandalwood. Its deep, woodsy scent pairs perfectly with the grounding energy of Rooibos, creating an atmosphere of calm and clarity. Imagine sipping your tea by candlelight, the scent of sandalwood gently filling the room as you allow your thoughts to settle. It’s like nature inside your home.

2. Chamomile Mint Rooibos & Lavender:

Ah, the tranquility of Chamomile Mint. It’s the sip that makes you exhale deeply, letting go of stress. So, why not pair it with a calming lavender candle? Lavender’s sweet, floral aroma is the perfect match for Chamomile Mint’s smooth, cool taste. It’s like a quiet evening in a garden, every breath laced with serenity. Whether you’re curling up with a good book or just letting the world melt away, this pairing will help you unwind with ease. Softness is a mood.

3. Royal Golden Latte & Vanilla Bean:

For a sip as bold and luxurious as the Royal Golden Latte, you need a candle that commands attention—and vanilla bean does just that. Vanilla’s rich, creamy scent complements the warm, golden turmeric in the latte. The result? A comforting, indulgent experience that makes you feel like royalty in your own home. Light this candle while you sip and let the golden warmth of the tea infuse your surroundings. You deserve to glow.

4. Papaya Peach & Citrus Burst:

Let’s be honest—Papaya Peach is pure joy in a cup. It’s bright, fun, and undeniably uplifting. So, what better way to complement it than with a citrus burst candle? Lemon, orange, and grapefruit scents will amplify that tropical, feel-good vibe. Light it while you sip, and I promise you’ll feel like you’re on a sun-soaked beach, even if you’re just sitting by your window. Life’s too short to not bask in the brightness.

Now, if you’re like me, you’ll appreciate that these scents don’t just add fragrance—they set the mood. So next time you brew a pot of tea, think about what scent you’d want to share the moment with. The right candle might just make that tea taste even better.

Sincerely
