Capsicum Chinense

At over 1 million SHU, the 7 Pot got its name because it's thought that just one of these chillies is enough to add heat to 7 pots of stew.

A Habanero/Scotch Bonnet variety that produces large, juicy pods that are very hot, around 300,000 SHU. A good introduction to very hot chillies.

The Big Jim pepper just warms, doesn't burn - only nips, never bites! If you enjoy flavour over heat, the Big Jim is perfect - fruity and sweet like a capsicum, with a very mild chilli kick.

Sitting somewhere between the Habanero and Fatalii, the Bonda Ma Jacques is a very hot chilli, bright yellow in colour with a citrus flavour and strong, fruity scent.

A former world record holder, the Butch T Trinidad Scorpion chilli is not for the faint hearted! Easily identifiable, thanks to their sharp point that resembles its namesake - a scorpion tail!

The world’s hottest chilli! The Carolina Reaper leaves all other chillies for dead, with the hottest of pods reaching over 2 million SHU. Not for the faint hearted!

A cross between the Fatalii red and Purivian Aji Brown, the Chocolate Fatalii is not nearly as hot as the red or yellow Fataliis but still worth a try!

A very hot habanero variety that produces bigger and more ribbed fruits; perfect for those who believe that size does matter.

A heirloom chilli from Africa, this striking yellow chilli packs quite the punch at 300,000 Scoville heat Units with fruity, citrus undertones.
