What is the purpose of a tea candle?

Are they just decorative or do they actually serve a purpose? (scent doesn't count)

Answers:
Do you mean a tealight candle? The little ones in the cups? THey are good when you use a tart burner, that is a ceramic jar thing that burns a tart of scnted wax. the tealight warms the tart. Also they are good to put in votive holders so that you don't have wax all over your container.

THE PURPOSE IS TO HAVE LIGHTS DURIN TEA TIME!
They can set a mood-try turning off electric lights and just use candles.
Tea candles are mostly used for potpurri pots. They have two parts to them and a lid with openings on it The tea candle goes in the base and you light the candle--you put some scented oil in the top part and place it above the base where the tea candle is-put on the lid and then as the candles burns, the heated oil scents your room.
tea light candle. - beside decorative.

from the three word you will know what is the use of it.

Tea - put the tea light candle under your pot of tea and it will keep your tea warm at all time. (some of our cafe do this)

Light - It gives out light incase you have a black-out (power failure) at home.

Candle - you can use it as a normal candle, for light. ITs just a more expensive version of a candle.
Ambiance and decoration

don't do that. ask your mom personal questions, man. if not your mother, try an aunt. if you don't have one, use a sibling's older friend. if you don't have one of those, FIND an older friend.
