Just received a SRFB packed full of Trinidad Moruga Scorps. My hot sauce had run out a few days ago, so it was like an early Christmas. I prepped my soon-to-be incinerated insides with unadulterated heavy creams, bracing for the impending apocalypse. I rinsed and ate a half of one to get things started, and make no mistake, these are the real deal. I soon processed the rest into puree for long term keeping.
Pros: It's a box full of some of the world's hottest pepper pods (that are fresh) for under $20. The price is great for your return, especially if your applications for their use include a way to preserve them for awhile. The quantity was generous. I'm pleased, do recommend, and would repeat.
Cons: They were a bit small for Morugas (more the size of traditional TS). The Morugas are frequently compared to "golf balls" and noted for their size. But the quantity of over 30 (30 in a small box!) easily made up for it. Also, since these were the last of his reds, I'm sure that played a factor. This is nit-picking, but these were slightly a bit on the semi-dry side, but from our correspondence, it sounded like he harvested these last few TSM reds before I contacted him, so that's likely a reason. It didn't detract from flavor or heat.
Flavor: Characteristic Scorpion taste. Less fruity or floral than it is savory and distinct. Some call this flavor "fragrant." These are mostly all qualitative, subjective terms, though. What's important is that you know you're getting Scorpion DNA, and that was here in spades.
Heat Profile: These pack all the blistering mind-numbing heat you expect from a super-hot. Half a pod made me go to my happy place to escape the reality of the moment. Better still, the processed puree could strip paint (the boiling leaves a ring of concentrate around the pot. This stuff is unmistakably bright red, and if you eat it, you need to think about leaving a will.) These weren't the testing-grade 2 Mill SHU of Guinness and Chile Institute fame, but they felt like a mean average of 1.5, which is more than enough to get the job done.
