Japan Tobacco (JT) will introduce four new flavors in the EVO series for its heated non-combustible brand Ploom, namely “Green Mint”, “Cacao Mint Crystal”, “Tropical Lime Crystal”, and “Sakura Regular”.
The report indicates that all four products are sold in packs of 20 and are priced at 550 yen (approximately 3.5 US dollars, including tax):
“Green Mint” is a mint-based product, featuring a refreshing mint flavor combined with a slightly sweet herbal mint aroma.
“Cacao Mint Crystal” is a burstable bead product. It highlights the mint and sweet-bitter cocoa flavors, and claims that when the capsule is broken, a faint fruity aroma will be added.
“Tropical Lime Crystal” is also a type of burst bead. Its main feature is the combination of ripe mango flavor and lime capsules.
“Sakura Regular” is the original flavor product, and it is positioned as a blend with a smooth texture and a more prominent aroma.
In terms of sales schedule, “Green Mint” and “Cacao Mint Crystal” are scheduled to be launched on January 22, 2026; “Tropical Lime Crystal” and “Sakura Regular” are planned to be launched on February 3, 2026. The report mentions that the initial launch of these products is mainly targeted at channels such as the CLUB JT online store and Ploom stores.
To support the new product launch, JT will hold a voting activity for Ploom users: among the 4 new flavors, the one that receives the most votes will be selected and launched for sale in all channels including convenience stores across the country.
