Crafted with Care: Linden Candle Company


The Makers Behind Our Merch 

At Summer Moon Coffee, what we serve and what we share matters. 

From the coffee in your cup to the candle on your counter, we believe in craftsmanship, community, and creating things that last. That's why, whenever possible, we partner with American makers, small businesses, and artisans who share our values: care in the details, pride in the process, and a belief that everyday moments can be something special. 

Not every item we offer is made this way, but it's a commitment we return to again and again. Because when something is made with intention, you can feel it. 

A Closer Look: Linden Candle Co. 

Linden Candle Co. started the way a lot of good things do, with a problem worth solving. Founder Alicia kept getting headaches and skin irritation from the candles she was bringing home, and when she dug into why, she found that most candles on the shelf were burning through paraffin wax loaded with toxins, some even releasing the kind of compounds you'd find in diesel exhaust. 

So she built the candle she wished she could buy: 100% American-grown soy wax, a crackling wooden wick, and zero phthalates, lead, or hidden toxins. 

Alicia runs the design and production side out of her studio right here in Texas, with her husband Stephen handling logistics and photography. What started as a small operation solving a personal problem has grown into a candle line stocked in hundreds of retailers, without ever cutting a corner on what goes into the wax. 

This fall, that same care went into our Cinnamoon Latte Candle — a 16oz soy candle built to capture the warm cinnamon and Moon Milk® spirit of the drink it's named for, finished with a hammered copper lid and that same wooden wick crackle.
