IQOS TEREA Tobacco Sticks guide
Explore the details and find answers to common questions.
What Are TEREA Sticks?
A TEREA stick looks like a short, stubby cigarette, but it works completely differently. Inside the sealed wrap sits real tobacco and a small metal element called a Smartcore. Drop the stick into an ILUMA device and an induction coil heats that element from within, warming the tobacco to release flavour and nicotine without ever burning it.
Because the stick is fully sealed, no tobacco touches the device. Older IQOS models needed regular scraping and brushing; with TEREA there is simply nothing to clean. Each stick gives one session of around six minutes or fourteen puffs, and each pack holds 20 sticks. One thing to know before you buy: TEREA only works in ILUMA devices, and will not fit the older blade-style IQOS.
TEREA Flavours Explained
The range splits into three families: classic tobacco blends, menthol and fresh blends, and the Pearl line, which hides a crushable capsule in the filter so you can switch character mid-session. These are the varieties we stock.

| Family | Variety | Character |
|---|---|---|
| Tobacco | Amber | Full-bodied, lightly toasted blend |
| Yellow | Smooth and mellow, gentle on the throat | |
| Silver | The lightest of the classics, clean and balanced | |
| Teak | Rounded tobacco with a warm, malty edge | |
| Russet | Bold and earthy, the strongest tobacco note | |
| Sienna | Rich blend with a subtle woody finish | |
| Menthol & fresh | Blue | Crisp full menthol chill |
| Green | Bright mint over a light tobacco base | |
| Turquoise | Softer menthol for a smoother session | |
| Mauve | Cool menthol lifted with dark berry | |
| Pearl (capsule) | Twilight Pearl | Tobacco that clicks into cool berry |
| Starling Pearl | Fresh blend with a zesty capsule burst | |
| Abora Pearl | Aromatic blend with a tropical fruit shift | |
| Amelia Pearl | Smooth base with a sweet fruit capsule | |
| Provence Pearl | Floral-touched blend with a lavender-fruit click | |
| Riviera Pearl | Fresh citrus-leaning blend with a cooling burst |
If you are switching from cigarettes, start with Amber or Yellow and adjust from there. Menthol smokers usually land on Blue straight away. Since the menthol cigarette ban does not apply to heated tobacco, TEREA is one of the few legal ways left in the UK to buy a true menthol tobacco product.
TEREA FAQ
Is TEREA better than HEETS?
They are different generations rather than rivals. HEETS work in the older blade-heated IQOS devices; TEREA sticks carry their own internal heating element for the induction-based ILUMA. Most users find TEREA sessions more consistent, with no cleaning and no risk of a snapped blade, which is why the range has become the standard.
How do I use a TEREA stick?
Insert the stick into your ILUMA with the printed line sitting at the mouth of the holder, and do not twist it. Press the button, wait for the vibration, then puff normally. When the session ends, slide the stick straight out and dispose of it; the tobacco stays sealed inside the wrap.
How long does a TEREA stick last?
One stick gives a session of about six minutes or fourteen puffs, whichever comes first, and the device signals when you are near the end. A pack of 20 sticks lasts a pack-a-day smoker about the same time as a pack of cigarettes.
How much nicotine is in a TEREA stick?
Nicotine delivery per stick is broadly in the same range as a cigarette, which is why the switch feels natural to smokers. The exact figure varies by variety, with the fuller tobacco blends such as Russet feeling strongest and lighter options such as Silver noticeably gentler.
What are the most popular TEREA varieties?
Amber and Yellow lead among ex-smokers for their straightforward tobacco character, Blue is the menthol favourite, and Twilight Pearl is the pick of the capsule line for people who like to vary each session. Trying two or three packs is the quickest way to find your own regular.
