Yellow is the light, beginner-friendly stick of the UAE range gentle tobacco with a citrus lift on top, soft on the throat and easy to repeat.
It’s also the most inconsistently described stick in the local market, and that’s worth clearing up before you order.
Crafted by Philip Morris International (PMI) for the SMARTCORE Induction System. Heat-not-burn, smoke-free, no ash, with bilingual Arabic and English packaging built to UAE standards.
Is Yellow a Menthol Stick? Settling the Confusion
Search TEREA Yellow across UAE retailers and you’ll find two incompatible descriptions. Some list it as a light tobacco with a citrus or zesty character. Others describe it as offering gentle menthol freshness and position it as a milder alternative to Turquoise.
Those can’t both be right, and the difference matters if you’re buying specifically to get cooling or specifically to avoid it.
That last line is the useful part. Yellow occupies a genuine gap: brighter than Silver, lighter than Amber, and cooler in impression than either without being a menthol.
What the Session Delivers
The base is gentle, clean tobacco with no roughness. Over it sits the citrus layer, which reads as zest rather than juice — bright and slightly tangy rather than sweet.
The throat feel is among the softest in the UAE range, and there’s no aftertaste to speak of. It’s a stick you can smoke repeatedly through a day without the palate ever objecting.
Yellow or Silver?
The two lightest tobacco sticks in the UAE range. Same weight class, opposite personalities.
| Yellow | Silver | |
|---|---|---|
| Top note | Citrus, zesty | Soft herbal |
| Feel | Bright, lively | Calm, restrained |
| Body | Light | Mildest in range |
| Pick it for | Character in a light stick | Quiet all-day smoothness |
Both are good first purchases. Yellow if a completely plain stick would bore you; Silver if you want nothing competing with the tobacco.
Who Should Buy It
- First-time heated tobacco users. Light body, minimal throat impact, and enough character to stay interesting. One of the two easiest entry points in the local range.
- Light cigarette smokers. Particularly anyone whose old brand had a fresh or citrus edge to it.
- Daytime and morning users. The bright profile works alongside breakfast and morning tea in a way the fuller sticks don’t.
- Anyone who wants brightness without cold. As covered above, this is the only stick in the UAE range that offers it.
Choose differently if you want real cooling, where Turquoise is the answer, or tobacco depth, which Amber and above provide.

How to Use It
- Insert the stick into your IQOS ILUMA or Lambda holder, coloured end up, without twisting.
- Wait for the ready vibration before the first draw.
- Draw gently. Yellow’s citrus note comes through best on relaxed, spaced-out puffs and gets buried under heavy ones.
- Bin the stick after up to 14 puffs or roughly 6 minutes.

Citrus aromatics are among the first things UAE heat destroys, and Yellow doesn’t have much else to fall back on once the zest goes. Keep packs sealed and cool. See the storage guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is TEREA Yellow a menthol stick?
No. Yellow belongs to the tobacco family and contains no cooling agents. The freshness some users report comes from its citrus-zest character, which the brain often associates with coolness even though no menthol is involved.
What does it taste like?
Light, gentle tobacco with a bright citrus lift. The zest is tangy rather than sweet, the throat feel is very soft, and there’s no aftertaste.
Yellow or Silver for a first purchase?
Both work. Yellow adds a citrus lift for anyone who’d find a plain stick boring; Silver is calmer and more neutral with a soft herbal note.
Does it contain less nicotine because it’s light?
No. Yellow carries approximately 0.5 mg per stick, the same as every TEREA flavour including the strongest. The lightness is entirely about taste.
Which devices does it work with?
Any IQOS ILUMA model including the ILUMA i series, plus Lambda i8, i9, and i10. Blade-based IQOS devices won’t heat TEREA sticks.
