I Left Almond Tea to Mom Scented Candle
Mum always ordered almond tea at the cha chaan teng. When it arrived we would lean over to smell it — almond, always almond — take one sip out of curiosity, and push the glass straight back to her.
Years later, sitting in the same kind of place, we wondered whether it had become drinkable the way bitter melon stops being bitter. So we ordered one.
It turns out that if you did not like almond tea as a child, you do not like it as an adult either. What you get instead is the feeling of being small and sitting across from your mother.
Which is why this exists — for you, or for a mother who genuinely does love the stuff.
Scent — Almond tea
Size — 140g
Wax — Soy wax, coconut wax, vegetable oil
Made in — Hand-poured in Hong Kong
Best used — On the first burn, let the surface melt edge to edge. It prevents tunnelling and gives you the full scent every time after.
