Sip, Breathe, Repeat: The Story Behind Our White Tea Collins Candle

Sip, Breathe, Repeat: The Story Behind Our White Tea Collins Candle

Some cocktails are more than a drink — they're a mood. The White Tea Collins is one of them.

Light, floral, and effortlessly refreshing, the White Tea Collins is a modern twist on the classic Tom Collins. Swap out the gin for the delicate earthiness of white tea, add a splash of lemon, a hint of elderflower, and top it with sparkling water — and you have something that feels like a warm afternoon on a sun-drenched patio.

From Glass to Flame

At Klawed Attitude, we believe a great scent tells a story just as well as a great cocktail. When we set out to create our White Tea Collins candle, we started with the drink itself — its lightness, its clarity, the way it makes you slow down and savor the moment.

The result is a candle that opens with bright citrus and white tea, softens into a floral heart of elderflower and jasmine, and settles into a clean, airy base. It's the olfactory equivalent of that first sip — crisp, calm, and completely transportive.

How to Set the Scene

Light the White Tea Collins candle when you want to:

  • Wind down after a long week with a real (or imaginary) cocktail in hand
  • Create a fresh, welcoming atmosphere for guests
  • Bring a spa-like calm to your morning routine
  • Gift someone who appreciates the finer, quieter things

The Cocktail, If You Want to Mix One

While the candle burns, why not make the drink? Here's a simple White Tea Collins to sip alongside it:

  • 2 oz chilled brewed white tea
  • 1 oz elderflower liqueur
  • ¾ oz fresh lemon juice
  • ½ oz simple syrup
  • Sparkling water to top
  • Garnish: lemon wheel and a sprig of fresh mint

Combine the first four ingredients over ice, stir gently, and top with sparkling water. Light your candle. Exhale.
