TEREA Black Purple Menthol

Black Purple Menthol is the heavyweight of the Japanese fruit menthols: dark berry, intense cooling, and a roasted tobacco base underneath doing more work than most fruit sticks bother with.

All three layers pulling

Berry arrives first and it is the darker end of berry, closer to blackcurrant and blackberry than anything red. The menthol behind it is properly cold rather than a suggestion. And the base is roasted well past standard, which is what stops the whole thing tasting like a sweet.

It is a lot. That is the point, and it is also why this suits an evening stick rather than an all-day one.

The lighter version

Purple Menthol is the same berry idea over a standard base with gentler cooling. If Black Purple is too much, that is where to go, and most people who find their way here started there.

Black Menthol keeps the dark base and the intense cooling but drops the fruit entirely. Choose between them on whether you want sweetness in the mix.

Compatibility

ILUMA, ILUMA i, Lambda i8. The IQOS 3 DUO and every other blade device are out, since TEREA heats from an element inside the stick.

Twenty sticks a pack. Between the dark roast and the fruit, this is among the heavier sticks on residue, so a clean holder makes a noticeable difference to how it tastes.
