ZYN Blackcurrant Frost Nicotine Pouches — Dark Berry, Max Strength, Cooling Finish
The strongest fruit pouch in the entire ZYN UK range. Blackcurrant Frost combines rich, dark blackcurrant with a powerful cooling menthol finish — at 13.5mg, it's tied with Menthol Ice as ZYN's maximum strength. UK reviewers consistently single it out as "both sweet and tangy and rich tasting with an ice note that works really well to balance the bold berry."
Single strength: 13.5mg Regular — Extra Strong. 21 pouches per can in slim moist format. Tobacco-free, smoke-free, made by Swedish Match in Stockholm.
Why ZYN Blackcurrant Frost Stands Out
- 🫐 Rich, dark blackcurrant — bold, deep berry character (not artificial-sweet)
- ❄️ Powerful cooling menthol finish — sharper than typical fruit-pouch cooling
- 💪 13.5mg — ZYN's maximum UK strength (tied with Menthol Ice)
- ⏱️ 30+ minute flavour duration
- 📦 Slim moist format, 21 pouches per can
- 🌿 Plant-based fibres, pharmaceutical-grade nicotine, no tobacco
- 💷 Not affected by the October 2026 vape tax
- 🇸🇪 Made in Sweden by Swedish Match (PMI)
The Strength

13.5mg Regular — Extra Strong (●●●●) — for experienced pouch users and heavy ex-smokers (15+/day). Tied with ZYN Menthol Ice as the maximum ZYN UK strength

Bottom line: If you want maximum-strength pouch with fruit-and-cooling flavour profile, Blackcurrant Frost is genuinely unique in the UK market.
How To Use ZYN Blackcurrant Frost
- Twist the lid until you hear it click
- Place one pouch under your upper lip, slightly to one side
- Tingle starts in 30–60 seconds — blackcurrant first, menthol layered on top
- Leave in for up to 30 minutes
- Dispose in the lid compartment
The blackcurrant character is what most reviewers describe as "richer than expected" — it's not the cheap berry-candy flavour found in lower-end pouches. Combined with the strong cooling menthol, the result is a balanced berry-and-frost experience that holds well at 13.5mg strength.

Frequently Asked Questions
How dark is the blackcurrant flavour?
Genuinely dark — closer to ripe blackcurrant jam than light berry candy. The sweetness is balanced by the natural tartness of blackcurrant and amplified by the cooling menthol. Independent UK reviewers consistently rate it as one of ZYN's most "rich" or "complex" fruit pouches.
Why is Blackcurrant Frost only available in 13.5mg?
The cooling-and-fruit profile pairs naturally with high nicotine intensity. Lower strengths would let the menthol overwhelm the blackcurrant character. The 13.5mg keeps everything in balance.
How does it compare to ZYN Menthol Ice?
Both are 13.5mg, both have strong cooling, but Blackcurrant Frost is fruit-led (dark blackcurrant flavour with cooling) while Menthol Ice is mint-only (eucalyptus + menthol with no fruit). Choose Blackcurrant Frost if you want flavour complexity at maximum strength. Choose Menthol Ice if you want pure mint intensity.
Is Blackcurrant Frost good for beginners?
No. The 13.5mg strength is firmly experienced-user territory. Brand-new? Start with ZYN Spearmint 1.5mg first.
Are nicotine pouches legal in the UK?
Yes. Legal under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005. Legal age of sale 18+ from 1 January 2027. Vape7Store operates Challenge 25.
Will the October 2026 vape tax affect pouch prices?
No. The £2.20 per 10ml Vaping Products Duty applies only to e-liquid.
