Everything you need to know about licorice pouches
A flavor with Nordic roots
Licorice is one of the most distinctly Scandinavian flavors in the pouch world. While much of Europe and North America treats licorice as a niche or even acquired taste, in the Nordic countries it's a daily staple — found in candy, baked goods, drinks, and yes, in pouches. That's why most licorice pouches on the market come from Scandinavian brands, and why the flavor profile here tends to be more authentic and intense than the milder licorice flavors you'd find elsewhere.
The licorice profiles in our range
The licorice pouches here split into two stylistic camps. Classic licorice is the dominant style: LEWA Classic Liquorice, Onico Lakrits and Zeronito Lakrits all deliver the traditional earthy, slightly salty profile that defines Scandinavian licorice. These are nicotine-free pouches without caffeine — pure flavor experience, suited for everyday use at any time of day.
Licorice-berry combinations make up the smaller second group. Aprés No.8 Raspberry Licorice Zero softens the licorice with raspberry's sweet-sour edge, making it more approachable for newcomers. LEWA Power Raspberry & Liquorice takes the same combination but adds 50 mg of caffeine, sliding it into our caffeine pouch lineup.
Picking the right licorice pouch
If you're already familiar with Scandinavian licorice and want the classic experience, the straightforward options — LEWA Classic, Onico Lakrits, or Zeronito Lakrits — are all solid picks. The differences come down to format and intensity: Zeronito Lakrits Slim has a thinner, less visible pouch suited for discreet use, while Onico Lakrits and LEWA Classic tend toward a fuller, more pronounced flavor.
If licorice isn't your everyday flavor and you find pure liquorice too intense, the raspberry-licorice combinations are a gentler entry point. The fruit element rounds off the sharpness without losing the licorice character.
And if you specifically want a caffeine kick with your licorice, LEWA Power Raspberry & Liquorice is the only option in our current range at 50 mg per pouch — though you can browse the full caffeine pouch collection for other strengths and combinations.
