Comparing Irish Turf and Peat Candles: Prices, Sizes & Features for USA Buyers
Ah, the unmistakable scent of Irish turf! If you're anything like me, that earthy, smoky aroma takes you straight to the heart of the Emerald Isle. It's as if each candle is a time machine, instantly transporting you back to cozy evenings in a traditional Irish cottage. For those of us smitten with this nostalgic fragrance, peat candles have become a delightful discovery.
"It's like a piece of Ireland, wrapped up and delivered to my home."
Exploring the world of Irish turf candles is a delightful journey. Each has its own charm. Here's my take on six enchanting options - of course, I am biased, but I've tried them all!
1. Tenfire Irish Turf Candle
This one is a real find, weighing in at a cozy 8 oz and delivering a 40+ hour burn time. The packaging feels like a hug from Ireland. Shipping is free and quick from US warehouses, making it well worth the $34.95 price tag. Also available in packs of 2 or 3 at $30 per item and $25 per item respectively.
2. Bearded Candle Makers
A little lighter at 160ml and a 35-hour burn time, but it still packs a punch with its robust aroma. At a friendly $22, it's easy to invite this little piece of Ireland into your home. At the moment, there is no shipping option to the USA.
3. The Doyle Collection Turf Candle
For those looking for a more natural vibe, this one’s your go-to. It comes in a 10.5 oz glass jar, feeling a bit more earthy, and has a burn time of 60 hours. At $77, including shipping, it’s the priciest option on our list, but its aura is enchanting.
4. Dalkey Aromatics Turf Fire Candle
These compact delights are available in 3 and 6 oz variants. The larger option sits at $86 delivered to the USA. The mini-size doesn't compromise on scent. Shipping is straightforward and swift. A snug fit for those smaller spaces.
5. Sass & Boho Burning Irish Turf Candle
This atmospheric beauty weighs in at 10 oz for a 70-hour burn time. Priced at $39 plus shipping to the USA (the site won't quote at the moment), it's like a cozy fireside chat, authentic and heartwarming.
6. FieldDay Apothecary Peat Candle
A striking choice with its elegant design. At 9 oz and $52 plus shipping, it's a pricier option. This one lights up not just the room but your mood too, but is currently out of stock.
