TEREA Silver, Turquoise and Teak Compared (taste, menthol level, country versions)
What is the difference between TEREA Silver, Turquoise and Teak?
TEREA Silver, Turquoise and Teak are heated tobacco sticks made for IQOS ILUMA devices. Turquoise is the only menthol, Silver offers toasted tobacco with light spicy herb notes, and Teak brings nutty aromas to toasted tobacco. Compare them in our TEREA flavors range.
Picking a flavor can feel like guessing. You see three names, one pack and no taste in the shop. We’ve lined up the facts so you can choose fast.
Think of iced tea, black coffee and hot cocoa. All three are drinks, but each suits a different mood. Silver, Turquoise and Teak work the same way.
How do TEREA sticks work with IQOS ILUMA?
TEREA sticks are heated tobacco sticks made exclusively for IQOS ILUMA devices, including ILUMA, ILUMA ONE and ILUMA PRIME. The device uses SMARTCORE Induction technology to heat the tobacco instead of burning it, so there’s no smoke and no ash.
TEREA sticks aren’t cigarettes, even though many people search for them that way. They also don’t fit older bladed IQOS models. Those models use HEETS. TEREA sticks contain nicotine, which is addictive.
How does TEREA Silver taste?
TEREA Silver is a balanced, toasted tobacco blend gently refined with light aroma notes of spicy herbs, according to IQOS. IQOS doesn’t describe it as a menthol stick. It suits adult smokers who want a tobacco taste with a soft herbal edge.
Trade press said Silver should appeal to ILUMA users who already like the Amber, Sienna and Russet sticks. That tells you it sits in the tobacco family, not the menthol family. If you like those sticks, Silver is a natural next try.
We stock Silver in several country versions. Browse them in our TEREA Silver flavors category.
How does TEREA Turquoise taste, and how strong is its menthol?
TEREA Turquoise blends lightly toasted tobacco with zesty aroma notes and a crisp menthol cooling. On the IQOS UK scale it scores 2 out of 5 for intensity, 2 for body and 1 for aroma. That makes it clearly lighter than Teak.
Cool comes first here. IQOS calls the whole zesty range mild in intensity. That’s why Turquoise suits adult smokers who want a light stick rather than a heavy hit.
TEREA Yellow sits in the same zesty group but has a much stronger aroma. If you want the quiet one, you’ll want Turquoise. See every version in our TEREA Turquoise sticks category.
How does TEREA Teak taste?
TEREA Teak is a rounded, toasted tobacco blend with nutty aromas. IQOS UK rates it 4 out of 5 for intensity and aroma, and 3 out of 5 for body. IQOS lists it under nutty flavors, not menthol, so the taste stays tobacco-led.
IQOS Jordan describes the same stick as balanced toasted tobacco with creamy and nutty notes. Expect warm and smooth, not cool. That’s the opposite of Turquoise, which leads with cooling.
Amber, its nutty sibling, scores 3 out of 5 for intensity. So Teak steps up one notch. Find it in our TEREA Teak range.
Which is stronger: TEREA Silver, Turquoise or Teak?
Teak scores 4 out of 5 for intensity on the IQOS UK scale, against 2 out of 5 for Turquoise. That puts Teak well above Turquoise for tobacco punch. The table below shows how all three differ in style and menthol.

Which TEREA flavor should you choose: Silver, Turquoise or Teak?
Choose Turquoise for a cool, light stick, Silver for toasted tobacco with a herbal edge, and Teak for a warm, nutty stick with more intensity. Your own taste decides, so match the flavor to the moment you’ll smoke it and to how much cooling or tobacco punch you like.
Smoke mostly outdoors in the heat? Turquoise fits that mood. Want something for a slow evening? Teak fits better.

TEREA Silver, Turquoise and Teak FAQs
Is TEREA Silver a menthol stick?
No. IQOS describes TEREA Silver as a balanced, toasted tobacco blend with light aroma notes of spicy herbs. It lists no menthol cooling for it. If you want menthol among these three, TEREA Turquoise is the stick that carries the crisp menthol cooling.
Is TEREA Turquoise very strong?
No. IQOS UK scores TEREA Turquoise 2 out of 5 for intensity and body, and 1 out of 5 for aroma. It pairs lightly toasted tobacco with a crisp menthol cooling. If you want more tobacco punch, TEREA Teak scores 4 out of 5 for intensity.
Can I use these sticks with any IQOS device?
No. TEREA sticks are made exclusively for IQOS ILUMA devices, including ILUMA, ILUMA ONE and ILUMA PRIME. Don’t use them with older bladed IQOS models. Those older devices use HEETS sticks instead, which are a different product from TEREA, so don’t mix them up.
Do TEREA country versions taste different?
IQOS publishes taste notes per flavor, not per country. It doesn’t publish a taste comparison between country versions, so we don’t claim one. Each version has its own product page on our site, which lets you choose the exact origin you want.
