TEREA Strength Chart: Every Colour from Mild to Strong
A pack marked Silver may be described as mild. A pack marked Blue may be described as intensely cooling. If you’re comparing the two in Dubai, it’s easy to read those descriptions as a ranking of nicotine levels. They describe different sensations, and neither description tells you how much nicotine is in the stick or how much reaches you when you use it.
This guide from IQOS Terea Dubai explains how to read a TEREA strength chart when the packs you’re comparing come from different markets. Start with the full variant name and market edition. Then check what the source actually measures or describes. That extra step matters when a UAE pack and an imported pack share a colour, or when two charts use the word strength for different things.
Can you tell TEREA nicotine level by color?
Pack colour alone cannot tell you how much nicotine a TEREA stick contains, releases into aerosol, or delivers to a person. Colour helps identify a variant within a range. To interpret a nicotine figure, you need the exact variant, its market edition, and a source that explains what was measured.
Suppose you find a chart that lists Silver as mild, Amber as medium, and Bronze as strong. Before you use it, read the column heading. If it says tobacco taste intensity, the chart is comparing sensory descriptions. If it says nicotine strength but lists no units, source, or test method, the label gives you too little information to interpret the ranking.
The same principle applies to menthol. A cooling sensation can be prominent even when the tobacco taste is relatively subtle. A chart that gives both sensations one score leaves readers guessing which characteristic earned the higher rating.
TEREA strength chart by colour and market edition
Use the chart below as a guide to common colour names and the descriptions you may encounter. It groups regular tobacco, menthol, and capsule variants so each comparison has a clear basis. The descriptors are examples of how variants are commonly presented. Check the description for the exact market edition before applying a row to a pack.
| Colour or variant | Flavour family | Taste or cooling descriptor to check | Nicotine evidence |
| Silver | Regular tobacco | Often described as mild or light in tobacco taste. | A mild taste description gives no nicotine measurement. |
| Yellow | Check full variant name | Plain Yellow may be described as light or zesty. Check whether the pack specifies a menthol variant. | The exact variant and edition are needed to assess any figure. |
| Amber | Regular tobacco | Look for balanced, toasted, or rounded tobacco descriptors for the specific edition. | A mid-range taste label gives no nicotine measurement. |
| Sienna | Regular tobacco | Often described with woody or rounded notes. Its position relative to Amber can vary by chart. | A woody or rounded flavour gives no nicotine measurement. |
| Bronze | Regular tobacco | Often described as fuller or warmer in tobacco taste. | Fuller taste does not establish a higher nicotine figure than Silver. |
| Turquoise | Menthol | Look for how the source describes mint character and cooling intensity. | Cooling intensity gives no nicotine measurement. |
| Blue | Menthol | Some descriptions emphasise deeper or more pronounced cooling. Compare the same market editions where possible. | A stronger cooling sensation does not establish a higher nicotine figure than Turquoise. |
| Purple Wave | Flavoured menthol | Check the edition for its aroma description and how strongly the source describes cooling. | Aroma and cooling give no nicotine measurement. |
| Oasis Pearl | Capsule variant | Check the edition’s description of the capsule flavour and its effect on the taste profile. | The presence of a capsule does not establish nicotine content or delivery. |
Regular tobacco blends from mild to full taste
If you want to understand mild to strong as a taste comparison, start within the regular tobacco family. Silver, Amber, and Bronze make a useful example because descriptions commonly move from lighter tobacco character toward a fuller profile. That sequence can help you read the descriptions. Treat the middle positions as edition-specific, especially where sources describe Amber and Sienna using different scales.
For example, one edition may call a blend balanced, while another describes a similarly named blend as toasted. Those words answer different questions. Balanced suggests how pronounced the overall profile feels. Toasted describes its character. A useful chart preserves both descriptions when the source provides them and leaves the rating blank when it doesn’t.
Menthol and Pearl variants by cooling intensity
Compare Blue and Turquoise on cooling first, using descriptions for the same market where you can. Then look at tobacco body separately. This lets you see whether the published difference is about the mint sensation, the tobacco flavour, or both.
For Pearl variants, check how the source describes the capsule. A change in flavour when the capsule is activated can make the sensation feel more pronounced. That observation gives you information about taste. A nicotine comparison still requires a measurement for the specific variant.
What does “0.5 mg per stick” mean in a TEREA chart?
A figure such as 0.5 mg per stick is useful only if the source says what the figure represents. The number and unit alone leave out the information you need to compare it with another result. Look for three distinct types of measurement:
- Nicotine content is the amount present in the tobacco or stick before use. The source should specify what was tested and whether the result is given per stick or per gram.
- Aerosol yield is the amount collected from the aerosol under specified test conditions. Look for the device, test method, and units. Differences in testing can affect whether two results are comparable.
- Nicotine uptake refers to nicotine absorbed by a person. Evidence about uptake comes from studies of people and has its own measurement methods and limitations.
If a chart gives the same number for Silver, Bronze, Blue, and several imported editions without showing how each was tested, leave those figures unconfirmed. Likewise, a figure from one edition should stay attached to that edition unless the source explicitly establishes that it applies more broadly. TEREA contains nicotine, which is addictive. Mild describes taste in this guide and gives no basis for judging health risk.
Does the same TEREA colour mean the same thing across editions?
The same colour name can appear in more than one market. When that happens, use the complete product name, market information, and manufacturer description to establish what you’re comparing. If you have the pack in front of you, check the front, sides, and back. The front helps identify the variant. The other panels can give you information about the intended market and the labelling on that particular pack.
This is particularly useful in Dubai, where you may encounter UAE-labelled packs alongside editions from markets such as Japan, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, and Switzerland. The TEREA flavours and editions guide for Dubai explains the market editions and flavour families listed on our website. Use it to identify the variant, then return to the strength chart with the edition in mind.
Keep device compatibility separate from colour and intensity as well. TEREA is designed for the IQOS ILUMA and ILUMA i ranges. If you have an older blade-based IQOS device, check the device model and compatible stick type before relying on a guide written for ILUMA.
What to check when searching for TEREA information near you in Dubai
A search such as “TEREA near me” may show storefronts, online retailers, and pages for specific neighbourhoods. When your question is about nicotine or taste, first check whether the result identifies the exact pack. When your question is about a business, check its website and operating model before relying on an address or assuming you can visit.
IQOS Terea Dubai operates online. If you’re checking existing order information for Dubai Marina, JLT, Business Bay, or Downtown Dubai, the Dubai and UAE delivery information explains the published coverage and how timing and fees are confirmed. If your address is in the financial district, use the DIFC delivery area page for neighbourhood-specific information. These pages address service questions. For a pack comparison, the variant and market edition remain the details that matter.
Why choose IQOS Terea Dubai as a reference?
Our catalogue includes multiple regional editions, so a colour name by itself is often too broad to answer a reader’s question. This guide reflects that by asking you to check the edition before comparing taste descriptions and to check the measurement before comparing nicotine figures. Where a reliable figure for the exact pack is unavailable, the comparison stays open.
You can read about IQOS Terea Dubai’s independent online business to understand who publishes the guide. IQOS Terea Dubai is an independent retailer with no public showroom and no affiliation with Philip Morris International. For a question about a pack label or an existing order, use the support details on the IQOS Terea Dubai homepage. Have the full variant name and market edition handy so support can identify the product you mean.
TEREA strength and nicotine FAQs
How can I check the nicotine level of a specific TEREA colour?
Record the full name and market edition shown on the pack. Then check whether a manufacturer document, pack label, or test report identifies that exact variant. If you find a figure, confirm whether it describes nicotine in the stick or in the aerosol. Pack colour alone cannot answer either question.
What does mild to strong mean on a TEREA strength chart?
On a taste chart, mild to strong usually refers to how pronounced the flavour or sensation is. A regular tobacco chart may compare body or aroma, while a menthol chart may compare cooling. Read the chart’s scale before comparing rows, especially if it combines regular and menthol variants.
Does TEREA Bronze contain more nicotine than Silver?
A description of Bronze as fuller tasting and Silver as milder does not establish a nicotine difference. You would need comparable figures for the exact Bronze and Silver editions, measured in the same way. If a chart provides flavour descriptions alone, use it to compare taste and leave the nicotine question open.
Is TEREA Blue stronger than Turquoise?
Blue may be described as more intensely cooling than Turquoise in a given market. The comparison depends on the editions and the source’s scale. Check whether the description refers to menthol cooling or tobacco body. A stronger cooling sensation does not show that Blue contains or delivers more nicotine.
Does a stronger-tasting TEREA colour cost more in Dubai?
Taste intensity alone cannot explain a price difference. A price comparison needs the exact edition, pack or carton size, and the date the price was checked. Compare like with like and check whether delivery fees are included. Price gives no information about how much nicotine a product contains or delivers.
What is the best way to compare TEREA editions in the UAE?
Start with the full variant name and market edition. Compare regular tobacco blends on tobacco taste and menthol variants on cooling using a consistent source where possible. If your question is about nicotine, look for a documented measurement for each exact edition and check that the figures use the same method.
