Sepia Serpent chili: brown pods on white background

Sepia Serpent chili: single wrinkled brown pod

Sepia Serpent chili: hand holding wrinkled sepia-brown pods

Description

Sepia Serpent is not for the faint-hearted. The pods are gnarled, wrinkled and a deep sepia brown, and they hint at the insane heat inside.

This is an extremely hot superhot, with a frightening burn that will challenge even seasoned chili lovers, balanced by a bold and complex flavour.

Despite its aggressive heat, the plant is surprisingly easy to grow. It stays compact, thrives even in smaller pots and also works beautifully as a bonsai. Approach with caution: this serpent delivers a bite you will not forget. Open pollinated.

Challenge: 1 (Easy to grow, not that easy to eat!)
