chinense Habanadas

Well it was just a matter of time..... :welcome:
Sorry can't help with the question
I've got Trinidad Perfumes that are very chinense flavored but no heat whatsoever.

Well from what I found so far these are supposed to be super sweet.  I am trying to imagine a Habanero flavor without the heat and I just cant imagine it.  I also picked up some reapers, I tried growing them last year and the 5 seeds I had, none sprouted.  And I got some Trinidad Moruga Scorpions Chocolates.  Then several sweets.  I'll get some generic jalapenos and orange habs from a local store.  That will pretty much fill up my pepper space in the garden.
 
I grew them. tbh, I wouldn't call it habanero heat. It has the c. chinense smell for sure, so you cut into it and you're expecting heat based on that spicy odor, but flavor is a little different. It has a similar taste but I feel that "heatless hab" is a misleading name for them. 
 
They go from pale green to peachy to a dark peach/orange. If you decide to grow them, don't leave them on too long. I'd pick them when they first get peachy, where I find the flavor to be the nicest. The riper they are, the sweeter they get. And I'm talking candy sweet, but the flavor gets more like celery/fresh cut grass. Left a ton on for way too long before the season ended for them and they tasted like sugar coated lawn clippings. 
 
If you're looking for a sweet c. chinense variety that has good flavor and low heat, grow Aji Jobito. Definitely my favorite from my last season and I plan on growing at least 3 or 4 next year.
