Roughly 1.5 mg per pouch or 3.0 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 Spearmint Mini X-Low is a tobacco-free nicotine pouch with 1.5 mg nicotine in a compact mini format. It tastes of fresh spearmint with a cool, slightly sweet edge and only mild menthol, so the effect is gentle rather than sharp. The X-Low strength is aimed at adults who already use nicotine and want a lighter, discreet option, especially those new to nicotine pouches. The can contains 10 pouches.
What people say
Reviews are limited. One flavour guide describes spearmint as the gentlest entry point in ZYN’s mint range: herb-forward, soothing, and mild on menthol. A user who bought the 1.5 mg X-Low while trying to stop vaping said ZYN is just as addictive as vaping, although it helped them move away from vaping. Another noted that 1.5 mg is not sold in the US, ordered it from Europe, and wished for a 1 mg option. Criticism centres on availability and addictiveness rather than taste.

About ZYN Spearmint
The flavour is a clean, refreshing spearmint with a cooling, icy note and a touch of sweetness underneath. It is closer to a fresh mint leaf than a strong peppermint blast: herb-forward, soothing, and not aggressive. The menthol is mild, so the pouch stays comfortable even for people who find stronger mint pouches overpowering. ZYN describes the X-Low strength as producing less tingle, and the 1.5 mg dose makes it one of the lightest options in the range.
The mini format is small and discreet, designed to sit between gum and lip without being noticeable. Flavour and nicotine release gradually over a typical session of 30 to 60 minutes, rather than hitting all at once. Each can is listed as containing 10 pouches. This is a low-strength product for existing nicotine users who are new to pouches or prefer a mild mint experience in a compact format.
