    Souchong Début Tallow Candle

    Smoky • Meditative • Grounding | A Ritual of Fire, Earth & Stillness

    Bring the serene warmth of an ancient hearth into your home with the Souchong Début Tallow Candle—a luxurious, slow-burning creation that evokes the quiet mystery of temple woodsmoke, ember-lit evenings, and crisp starry skies.

    This hand-poured candle blends smoky Lapsang Souchong black tea, earthy vetiver, and rare Choya loban—an Ayurvedic distillation of roasted terra cotta—enveloping your space in a grounding, soulful aroma. Hints of Siam wood, smoked frankincense, and Moroccan cardamom add depth and warmth, making this fragrance both meditative and timeless.

    Shipping details

    What is processing time?

    Processing time is the period between placing your order and the package being handed to the shipping carrier.

    Most orders are processed within 2–5 business days, Monday–Friday excluding holidays.

    During this time, your item may be picked, prepared, produced, finished, assembled, personalized, packed, or otherwise made ready for shipment.

    Shipping time does not include processing time. Carrier transit begins after processing is complete and the package has been accepted for shipment.

    Where does my order ship from?

    My American Goods® uses a hybrid fulfillment model.

    • Some products are stocked and shipped directly by My American Goods.
    • Other products ship directly from the independent American brand or maker.

    This allows us to offer a much broader selection of American-made products while supporting the independent businesses that make them.

    Why might my order arrive in multiple packages?

    Products in the same order may ship from different fulfillment locations.

    As a result, items may:

    • Ship on different days
    • Arrive in separate packages
    • Have different tracking numbers
    • Use different shipping carriers or services

    Receiving one package does not necessarily mean the rest of your order is missing.

    How are shipping rates calculated?

    Because products may ship from different makers and fulfillment locations, shipping rates can vary by product or brand.

    • Some products or brands qualify for free shipping above a specific threshold.
    • Other products may use flat-rate or carrier-calculated shipping.
    • Products shipping from separate locations may generate separate shipping charges.

    The applicable shipping cost is shown before your order is completed.

    When will I receive tracking?

    Tracking information is emailed once your item has been prepared and shipped.

    For handmade, made-to-order, pre-order, or specialty products, tracking may not be available until the applicable preparation or production period is complete.

    If the expected processing period for your item has passed and you have not received a shipping update, please contact us.

    Carrier delays & missing packages

    After a package has been accepted by USPS, UPS, FedEx, or another shipping carrier, transit may be affected by weather, holidays, peak-volume periods, transportation disruptions, or other carrier conditions outside our control.

    Shipping and delivery timelines are estimates unless expressly stated otherwise.

    If tracking shows Delivered but you cannot locate the package, check:

    • Household members
    • Neighbors
    • Porches, side doors, garages, and other delivery areas
    • Parcel lockers or building mailrooms

    Carrier scans can occasionally appear shortly before final delivery. If the package still cannot be located, we can assist with a carrier investigation.

    Shipping address accuracy

    Please review your shipping address carefully before completing your order.

    Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address.

    Packages returned because of an incorrect, incomplete, or undeliverable address may require additional shipping charges before they can be sent again.

    The Story behind Summer Solace Tallow

    Summer Solace Tallow was founded in 2014 by Megan Bre Camp, a chef, natural perfumer, and gardener with deep respect for ancestral skincare traditions. Based in Oakland, California, Megan set out to revive the time-honored practice of using nutrient-rich tallow — sourced from regeneratively raised pasture animals — combined with botanical oils and local ingredients to craft handmade, deeply nourishing balms, soaps, and candles.

    Her background as a holistic chef and artisan maker, coupled with a commitment to regenerative agriculture, sustainability, and whole-animal stewardship, shapes every product and makes Summer Solace Tallow more than skincare — it’s a practice rooted in earth-inspired care, thoughtful sourcing, and intentional craftsmanship. We love Summer Solace Tallow because it reflects MAG’s values of purposeful making, clean ingredients, and products that restore skin health while honoring heritage, community, and the land.
