Liquorice Nicotine Pouches NZ — Salty, Sweet & Anise Profiles
Best Liquorice Nicotine Pouches for New Zealand
Liquorice is the most polarising flavour in the NZ range — Kiwis either love it or want nothing to do with it. If you're in the first camp, here are my five picks across every style and strength.
My first recommendation for anyone new to liquorice pouches. The violet profile softens the earthy base with a floral sweetness that makes it far more approachable than traditional black liquorice. Slim format, sits flat and discreet under the lip. Three strengths available: Regular 6 mg, Strong 9 mg, and Extra Strong 11.8 mg.
Get the NZ Favourite →Authentic salmiak salt liquorice — the salty punch hits first, deep liquorice undertones follow. This is the traditional Nordic direction, very different from the sweeter violet style. A favourite among Kiwi customers who grew up with Scandinavian candy or want something genuinely savoury. Also available as LOOP Salty Ludicris Strong and mini format.
Shop Now →Classic liquorice in a mini format — bittersweet and straightforward with no floral or salty additions. The mini size makes it virtually invisible under the lip, a good option for work or social situations where discretion matters. Also available at 3 mg for lighter daily use.
Shop Now →Raspberry and liquorice in one pouch — the fruity sweetness balances the deep liquorice notes. I recommend this to Kiwis who find straight liquorice too intense on its own. A natural bridge between the fruit and liquorice categories.
Shop Now →Violet liquorice meets energy drink flavouring at zero nicotine. Good for testing the liquorice category before committing to nicotine, or for users cutting back who still want the taste and the ritual.

Liquorice pouches split into four distinct directions in the NZ range. The taste difference between them is bigger than most people expect — picking the wrong style is the main reason first-timers write off the category entirely.
Anise-like liquorice root paired with floral violet notes. Sweeter and more aromatic than traditional black liquorice — the most approachable direction for NZ newcomers to the category. ZYN Slim Violet Licorice covers three strength tiers (6 mg, 9 mg, and 11.8 mg). TIEL Energy Violet Licorice adds an energy drink twist at 0 mg nicotine.
Ammonium chloride gives salmiak its sharp, salty punch followed by deep liquorice undertones. An acquired taste outside Nordic countries but a beloved classic in Sweden and Finland. LOOP Salty Ludicris 6.3 mg and VELO Lofty Liquorice are the standout NZ salmiak options.
Pure, earthy liquorice root with a slightly bittersweet finish — no floral or salty additions. on! Licorice 3 mg, on! Licorice 6 mg, ZYN Mini Dry Black Licorice 3 mg, Klint Liquorice 8.4 mg, and LYFT Liquorice Strong 9.3 mg all sit in this space.
Liquorice paired with complementary flavours. Avant Raspberry Licorice 8.4 mg and Helwit Raspberry Liquorice 3.5 mg blend fruity sweetness with deep liquorice. Ace Liquorice Mint 10.4 mg pairs the anise character with cooling mint for a unique combination.
Liquorice Nicotine Pouch Strengths — NZ Catalogue
The NZ liquorice range is concentrated in the Strong tier (6–12 mg), where ZYN, LOOP, VELO, LYFT, Klint, and Avant all compete. Liquorice is one of the more robust flavour profiles that doesn't get overwhelmed by nicotine the way lighter fruit tastes sometimes do.
