NYYTTI – Black 9.6mg

Cold mint over a deep liquorice base, finished with a faint spice, is how NYYTTI Black 9.6mg plays out in a strong slim pouch. It sits between the brand’s pure mint White and its liquorice-only flavours, so it suits anyone who enjoys both. It also makes a good bridge for mint users who are curious about Nordic liquorice but not ready for tar.

Inside the flavour of NYYTTI Black 9.6mg

The first impression is cooling, much like a strong mint. As it settles, liquorice comes through underneath and carries the middle of the session, with a light spicy edge at the finish. It is darker and less sweet than a candy flavour, and cooler than the tar or pepper options in the same range.

A Finnish take on mint and liquorice

NYYTTI is designed in Finland, a country with a long-standing taste for salty and tar-flavoured liquorice. That background shows in the range: four of the five cans we list lean on liquorice in some form. Every one holds 9.6mg per pouch at 16mg per gram, packed 20 to a 12 g can, so choosing between them is purely about taste. That makes Black an easy second can to keep alongside White or Tar.

Compared with ZYN Violet Licorice Ice

ZYN Slim Violet Licorice Ice 9mg pairs liquorice with floral violet and a cooling note at almost the same dose. NYYTTI Black is the less perfumed of the two, trading violet for mint and adding a touch of spice. If the ZYN feels too floral, this is the more direct alternative. Both are slim pouches in the Strong band on our scale.
