ORANESSENCE - Carolina Reaper chili - EXPLOSIVE 20g

The Carolina Reaper chili is the result of a cross between Habanero and Bhut Jolokia peppers, created by a passionate horticulturist: Ed Currie. Also called "the North Carolina Reaper" or "gringo killer," its heat can reach over 2 million SHU (Scoville Heat Units). In comparison, the Habanero pepper—which is already quite strong—can reach 325,000 SHU, a Cayenne pepper goes up to 50,000 SHU, and an Espelette pepper usually only reaches 3,000 SHU. Obviously, tolerance varies from person to person, which is why the Scoville scale cannot be the only factor to consider. However, it gives an idea of our limits, depending on what we are used to tolerating or not, since some will be sensitive to an Espelette pepper, while others will fully enjoy a Bhut Jolokia (almost 1 million SHU)... In any case, it is important to remember that this is not a game and it should be consumed with great caution, especially if you want to discover what lies beyond its heat. Because yes, it is worth knowing for its flavor as well, and not just for the experience of having tasted the world's hottest pepper.

Its flavor is warm and fruity. It has notes of citrus and orange. Its heat is intense and persistent, but proper dosing allows you to control it.
