chinense Habanero's

I have been hooked on chocolate habs for several days. I almost crave them. I am definitely becoming a junkie.
Seems like there is a certain flavor that tends to hang around after eating some. Question is do all habs seem to have a distinctive similar flavor. Or is it just with chocolate habs. And is there another pepper that seems to have the same flavour.
Newbie that's just wondering.

Nope just chocolate habs have that flavor.
Ive tried white bullet hab, orange hab, and chocolate hab so far.

I really like this flavour. It's just different. I used to the taste of jalapenos for the most part. And habanero sauces. But this little chocolate habanero is the coolest. I am thinking of buying a box and canning some puree.

Actually, I forgot another that I tried Caribbean Red Habanero. I've liked all of the hab flavors with the chocolate being my favorite as well.

Chocolate habs, fataliis, and yellow 7s are my top three for flavor. And pretty much in that order.

Aji Lemon is really good too, I've also heard Aji Pineapple was a really good flavor too. I've only tried the Lemon and the flavor was great! Very Citrus flavor

Could I call that chocolate habanero a smoke flavor? Kinda what it seems like.

megahot · Jul 28, 2013

Yes, like a sweet smokey flavor to me.

I am now going to be on a quest to find the biggest ones I can to make poppers. :party:

Yes, Chocolate Habs really are quite amazing. I wanted to try them against Harold's St. Barts for flavor but alas, my Harolds seedlings succumbed to the Broad mites...

Next year...

Trinidad congo are pretty much the Trinidad version of Carribean Habs and I like them best of all for flavour (thanks Wes!). You can get them in yellow, red and chocolate. They are hotter than chocolate Habs, though.

Oh, and Red and Yellow Trinidad Morugas are really good, too. Not the Moruga blend or Moruga Sorpion!

Loving my Caribbean Red Habs.

Going to have to grow the chocolate

Glad I have Trini Congos and Trini Perfume growing now too! No pods yet but the plants are branching and flowering.

Watch out for the large/giant hab. varieties sold by Eco Seeds.
VERY BITTER!

I don't see it anymore on their site.
The plant put out a lot of pods but....Very nasty tasting.

Those peppers sure do look good. That's too bad they are bitter.

I will try them Nigel. Thanks for your input.
