This is without a doubt the smallest C.chinense I`ve ever come across. The plant is covered in pods that are the same size.

CGN 20800. Seeds from Judy at Pepperlover.com

That's a small pod forshure......

How do they taste?

Bhut_Trolokia · Oct 4, 2014

I hope big!
Small pods with BIG TASTE!

Nigel · Oct 4, 2014

Yep, definitely BIG TASTE.

Very similar to Wild Brazil. You pop them in your mouth and they pop and release huge amounts of flavor and very respectable heat.

What kinda taste?

ajijoe · Oct 5, 2014

Cute lil' booger. How is the flavor? Would it work with say, a handful dropped into a pot of beef stew or jambalaya? Or maybe a chicken pot pie recipe? Damn I'm hungry...

Maybe a nice Gumbo perhaps. Aaaaahhhhh now I'm hungry.

Very clean, strong C.chinense flavour similar to Cumari do Para and Wild Brazil. Throwing a handful into a pot of anything would be rather good, I think, but the Chicken Pot Pie sounds perfect!

I`ll review one soon.

Hotter than Cumari do Para or about the same?

Around the same to me, Steve.

Just a random thought but I wonder if peppers were part of Mr. Washingtons diet.
What kind of peppers would they of had at the time period.

Nigel · Oct 6, 2014

Capsicum chinense was described botanically in 1776. Coincidence? I think not!!!
