Do Herbal Hookah Flavours Taste Different Than Traditional Tobacco-Based Ones?
Posted on October 13 2025,
Yes, herbal hookah flavours taste noticeably different from tobacco-based shisha—but many find them better! Since herbal shisha is made from tea leaves, herbs, and flowers, the taste is lighter, smoother, and more aromatic.
Traditional shisha often has a harsh or smoky aftertaste, especially after an hour of smoking. In contrast, herbal blends like those by Hari Leaf focus on clean, layered flavour profiles—from cooling mint to fruity rose to earthy lotus.
If you’re new to hookah or want a gentler experience, herbal flavours are the perfect choice. They pair well with drinks and desserts and are easier on the throat, making them ideal for long sessions.
