These hand-dipped candles (which come in a set of 10) are made by the Q'eqchi people of the Guatemalan cloud forests using natural Myrtle wax. Each small candle burns for approximately 1.5 hours, comes in assorted colors, and smells faintly of bayberry.

Makes for a wonderful gift! As always.... Handmade and Fair Trade!
