Our Story

At Closterra, we believe that a single flame can do more than light a room. The right candle can soften the noise of the day, invite you to slow down, and turn small moments into quiet rituals. We created Closterra for people who want candles that feel as honest as they look – pure materials, calm light, and a sense of serenity that doesn’t shout for attention.

How Closterra began

Closterra started with a simple search: pure beeswax taper candles that were clean-burning, beautifully made and suitable for both dinner tables and small sacred spaces. What we kept finding were synthetic blends, heavy perfumes and designs that felt more trendy than timeless.

Instead of compromising, we decided to build something different. Closterra is a small, US-based brand that focuses on pure beeswax taper candles with a quiet, thoughtful aesthetic. We don’t pour the wax ourselves. Instead, we partner with trusted makers who specialize in beeswax candles, and we obsess over the details – from the blend of beeswax and cotton wicks to the way each taper fits in a holder and burns in a real home.

What matters to us

For us, a good candle is about more than fragrance notes. It is about how it’s made, how it burns and how it makes you feel in your own space.

We care about:

• Pure materials – natural beeswax and cotton wicks, without paraffin, cheap fillers or synthetic perfume.
• Calm, clean light – tapers designed to burn smokeless and dripless in proper conditions, so the flame stays steady and the focus stays on the moment.
• Quiet design – simple, elegant shapes that work as well on a dinner table as they do in a prayer corner, on an icon shelf or at a home altar.
• Respect for the source – bees, beekeepers and makers whose work makes each candle possible.

Everyday rituals, not just special occasions

Closterra beeswax tapers are made for real life – for birthday dinners and holiday tables, for meditation and yoga rooms, for quiet Orthodox traditions and small home altars. We believe light should feel gentle, natural and trustworthy, whether you are gathering with friends or sitting alone in silence.

Our hope is that each candle you light becomes a small reminder: to pause, to breathe, and to finally be at peace.
