TEREA Flavours in Canada, Explained
5 min read · Updated November 13, 2026
Every TEREA name is a wood, and every Canadian TEREA flavour is a tobacco blend - there are no menthol or capsule versions here. That makes the range simpler than in other countries, but the names alone do not tell you much. Here is what the maker says each one tastes like, and the order most people work through them.
Six flavours, all tobacco
IQOS Canada lists six TEREA flavours. Unlike some other markets, Canada has no menthol TEREA and no click-capsule TEREA - the whole range is tobacco character, differentiated by blend and aroma notes rather than by added flavours. Packs hold 18 sticks, sold in cartons of 54 or 180.
One honesty note before the list: the maker does not publish a numeric strength scale for these, so the ordering below follows the maker's own descriptions - words like delicate, balanced and robust - not an official ranking.
The four you will find almost everywhere
TEREA Birch is the mild end of the range: the maker calls it harmonious and refined, a delicate tobacco taste with aroma notes - the gentlest starting point, and the one most often compared to a light cigarette. TEREA Elm sits in the balanced middle: a well-rounded toasted tobacco blend with woody nuances and subtle light aroma notes. TEREA Oak is also balanced, defined by pleasingly woody and light nutty tobacco notes - think of it as Elm's neighbour, a touch warmer and rounder. TEREA Sequoia is the full end: a robust, full-bodied toasted tobacco blend balanced with satisfying malty aroma notes - the strongest-feeling blend of the four.
The two regional flavours
Two more flavours appear in the maker's Canadian list but are sold only in British Columbia. TEREA Teak is deep and rich - a full, satisfying tobacco taste infused with cocoa and dry fruit aroma notes, up at the strong end with Sequoia. TEREA Cypress is the refined outlier: a smooth, balanced tobacco taste with a subtle citrusy note and light herbal notes - the closest thing in the Canadian range to a flavoured variant, without leaving tobacco character. If you are in Ontario like us, you will not find these two on local shelves; the four above are the range here.
How to choose your first carton
Work by the maker's adjectives. Smoked light cigarettes, or find full blends harsh? Start with Birch. Want the middle of the road? Elm and Oak are the balanced pair - Elm a little brighter, Oak a little nuttier. Want the fullest body the range offers? Sequoia. Still deciding between two? Our 54-stick range includes a Sequoia Oak Birch selection carton that puts three of the four in one box, which is the practical way to taste the spread before committing to a 180-stick carton.
One compatibility reminder
TEREA sticks only work in ILUMA devices - the heating element is sealed inside the stick and works by induction. They do not work in older blade-based IQOS devices, and forcing one into a blade device can damage the blade. If you are coming from HEETS, our TEREA vs HEETS guide walks through the two systems.
