TEREA Amber

IQOS UK describes Amber as a rounded, toasted tobacco blend with light woody and nutty aroma notes. In its current five-point flavor guide, Amber has a lower listed intensity than Sienna and Teak, while its aroma rating is comparable to Teak.

Amber is therefore the clearest starting point of the three for an adult user who wants toasted tobacco supported by both wood and nuts without choosing the highest listed intensity in this comparison.

TEREA Sienna

Sienna is officially described with woody and light tea aroma notes. Compared with Amber in the UK guide, it carries a higher listed intensity and body but a lower aroma score. That makes the practical distinction less about “strong versus weak” and more about a fuller tobacco body paired with wood and tea rather than nuts.

View TEREA Sienna. Do not assume a package from another market uses the same scale without checking that market’s official listing.

TEREA Teak

Teak shares the rounded toasted foundation but concentrates on nutty aromas. The UK guide places it at the same listed intensity as Sienna, with body closer to Amber and aroma equal to Amber.

Choose Teak as the first comparison point if the nutty part of Amber’s description interests you more than its woody part. View TEREA Teak for the current regional pack and stock.

How to choose between them

Use the aroma distinction first:

Choose Amber for a balanced mix of light wood and nuts at the lowest manufacturer-listed intensity of these three.
Choose Sienna for more body and a wood-and-light-tea direction.
Choose Teak for a more directly nut-centered description.

Then verify the region. An official Swiss catalog, for example, uses similar core notes but describes Teak with creamy and nutty nuances. This shows why a regional label matters: the family resemblance may be clear while the marketing vocabulary and available portfolio differ.

None of these flavor descriptions establishes a universal nicotine ranking. Avoid claims such as “equal to a strong cigarette” unless an exact product, test method and authoritative source are provided.

Compatibility and handling

All three are TEREA SMARTCORE sticks for compatible IQOS ILUMA devices. They should not be used in older blade-based IQOS devices. TEREA contains tobacco and nicotine; nicotine is addictive. The stick also contains an internal metal element and should not be disassembled or swallowed.

If you are choosing a device, compare IQOS ILUMA One, Standard and Prime. If you are choosing across a wider range, start with TEREA flavors by region.

Frequently asked questions

Which is milder: Amber, Sienna or Teak?

In the current IQOS UK guide, Amber has the lowest listed intensity of the three. That is a market-specific manufacturer scale, not a nicotine measurement.

Which has tea notes?

Sienna is described with woody and light tea aroma notes.

Which has the most nut-focused profile?

Teak is described primarily around toasted tobacco and nutty aromas. Amber also has nutty notes, combined with light woody notes.

Are the variants identical in every country?

Do not assume so. Countries can offer different variants under local rules, and official descriptions or scales can vary. Check the exact regional pack.

Can they be used with older IQOS devices?

No. TEREA is made for the IQOS ILUMA family, not older blade-based devices.
