What does TEREA Amber taste like?

The IQOS flavor guide lists TEREA Amber among its nutty flavors and says it "has a strong aroma and is mild in intensity". IQOS sums it up as "Balanced & Roasted", and its other descriptions use the same vocabulary: balanced, roasted or toasted tobacco, with nutty or light woody notes. None of the IQOS product descriptions we checked mention fruit, spice or cooling.

Our catalog notes for Amber are toasted tobacco, woody and nutty. Our editorial reading: toasted tobacco leads, and the nut and wood come through in the aroma. Taste is personal, so treat these notes as a starting point.

How strong is TEREA Amber?

TEREA Amber is mid-range in intensity by our reading of the IQOS scale: IQOS rates it 6 out of 10, with Silver at 4 and Russet at 9. The IQOS flavor guide uses a 5-point scale and gives Amber 3 for intensity, 3 for body and 4 for aroma, which it describes as "mild in intensity" with "a strong aroma". On our four-step scale Amber is Balanced, the second step.

IQOS notes that its intensity ratings and descriptions relate solely to the flavor profile.

TEREA Amber vs other TEREA flavors

The 10-point intensity comes from IQOS product information. The 5-point ratings come from the IQOS flavor guide, which does not rate Silver or Bronze. Notes and steps are our catalog data.

Flavor	Our notes	IQOS intensity (1–10)	IQOS flavor guide (int./body/aroma)	Our scale
Silver	Toasted tobacco, spicy herbs	4	Not rated	Mellow (1)
Yellow	Mellow tobacco, zesty aroma	5	3 / 2 / 5	Balanced (2)
Amber (this page)	Toasted tobacco, woody, nutty	6	3 / 3 / 4	Balanced (2)
Teak	Toasted tobacco, creamy, nutty	7	4 / 3 / 4	Rich (3)
Sienna	Toasted tobacco, woody, tea	7	4 / 4 / 3	Bold (4)
Bronze	Mellow tobacco, cocoa, dried fruit	8	Not rated	Bold (4)
Russet	Full-bodied tobacco, malty	9	5 / 3 / 5	Bold (4)

Our four-step scale is a simpler grouping. It does not map one-to-one onto the IQOS 10-point scale.

TEREA Amber vs Bronze

IQOS rates Bronze higher for intensity, 8 of 10 against Amber's 6. Our notes for Bronze are cocoa and dried fruit over mellow tobacco. In our editorial view, choose Bronze for those notes and Amber for toasted tobacco with a nutty, woody aroma.

TEREA Amber vs Teak

IQOS describes both with nutty aromas. Teak is rated higher for intensity, 7 of 10 against 6, and 4 of 5 against 3 in the IQOS flavor guide, with the same body and aroma scores. Our notes for Teak add a creamy note.

TEREA Amber vs Yellow

Yellow shares Amber's Balanced step on our scale and its intensity of 3 in the IQOS flavor guide. On the 10-point scale IQOS puts Yellow one point lower, 5 against 6, with a lighter body (2 against 3) and a stronger aroma (5 against 4). Yellow follows a zesty direction rather than Amber's woody and nutty notes.

TEREA Amber vs Silver

Silver is rated lower for intensity, 4 of 10 against Amber's 6, and is the Mellow first step on our scale. Our notes for Silver are toasted tobacco with spicy herbs.

TEREA Amber pack editions

Amber comes here in two production editions; the edition switcher above picks between them. We list both as the same Amber flavor in different pack designs, and both arrive as sealed 200-stick cartons. Each edition shows its own price in the buy box.

Which IQOS devices work with TEREA Amber?

Any IQOS ILUMA or ILUMA i holder can heat TEREA Amber, from the original ILUMA ONE to the ILUMA i PRIME we stock. Older bladed IQOS holders, IQOS 3 DUO and earlier, are a different system, and IQOS warns that a TEREA stick may damage them.

Is TEREA Amber the same as HEETS Amber?

No. HEETS Amber and TEREA Amber are separate sticks for different devices. HEETS Amber is made for bladed IQOS holders, TEREA Amber only for IQOS ILUMA, and neither is meant for the other's device. IQOS lists TEREA Amber as the match for HEETS Amber, so it is the flavor to look at if you move from HEETS Amber to an ILUMA device. The HEETS to TEREA chart lines up every flavor.

How to use TEREA Amber

An Amber stick goes straight into the ILUMA holder and is warmed by induction from its own core, so there is no lighter involved and no second use. IQOS puts one session at up to 6 minutes or 14 puffs. The metal core has sharp edges: do not take sticks apart, and store cartons where children and pets cannot reach them.
