Roughly 6.0 mg per pouch or 12.0 mg/g, assuming a slim pouch at 0.50 g. That is an estimate from the format median, not a measured weight for this product — how this conversion works.

What it is

ZYN Apple Mint 6mg is a tobacco-free nicotine pouch with a flavour of green apple and peppermint plus a lighter spearmint note. Each mini pouch contains 6mg nicotine and comes in a can of 20. It has a medium strength and a smaller format than standard slim pouches. The taste is fruit-led with a cooling mint finish. It suits people who want a crisp, moderately sweet mouthfeel without a heavy flavour.

What people say

User opinions are mixed. Some see Apple Mint as a solid dessert pouch rather than an all-day choice, scoring it mid-tier. Others describe it as well-balanced and easy-going, with green apple leading and a clean mint finish. A separate general ZYN review warns about lip burn, throat irritation and nausea, though this may apply to the product type rather than this flavour specifically. Overall, it is regarded as pleasant but not outstanding.

About ZYN Apple Mint

The flavour is led by a juicy green apple note with an orchard-like character. Peppermint provides the base, while a lighter spearmint accent softens the mint edge. The balance is more fruity than aggressively minty; the cooling builds gradually rather than arriving all at once. It is described as medium strength, with each 6mg pouch giving a noticeable but not overwhelming nicotine hit. The mini format is smaller than the standard slim pouch and sits discreetly under the lip.

Using the pouch, people may feel a slight tingling under the lip, and the manufacturer suggests keeping it in place for around 30 minutes. A can contains 20 pouches, and the used-pouch compartment is built into the lid. The pouch is white and tobacco-free, with the nicotine derived from tobacco but no tobacco leaf present. Longer tasting notes mention the apple appearing quickly and the flavour holding fairly steadily for close to an hour, with a faint sweetness emerging later. It is best described as a straightforward, easy-going fruit-mint pouch.
