Capsicum Chinense

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.

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.

Though never officially crowned, the Dorset Naga was thought to be the world's hottest chilli in the mid 2000s, and one of the first chillies whose pods measured in above 1 million SHU.

Its fruity flavour, tropical aroma and very decent chilli kick (150,000 SHU) has made the Jamaican Hot Red very popular in hot sauces. Slightly hotter than its yellow counterpart.

One of our favourite shaped chillies, the Jamaican Hot Yellow matures to a vibrant yellow; its fruity and tropical undertones makes it a very popular choice when making Caribbean hot sauces.

At 300,000 Scoville Heat Units, the Scotch Bonnet Orange is a great introduction to the world of very hot chillies, with a distinct tropical flavour beneath the heat.
