Description
- This tiny desert pepper is said to be hotter than the Dorset Naga, although Guiness lists the Dorset naga as the hottest. We have reports of comparisons between the two suggesting that this is reliably hotter.
- We make no claims as to which is the true champ, but there is no question that this is a must-have for the serious chile pepper enthusiast. We also carry naga seeds, so you can test them for yourself and decide who the champ really is.
- This pepper is also the state native pepper of Texas.Tepin peppers, nicknamed "bird's eye" peppers, rank high in heat level. Some chile enthusiasts argue that the Tepin is hotter than the habanero or Red Savina habañero pepper. This chile pepper is round or slightly oval and about 3/8 inch in width. "Tepin" comes from the Nahuatl Mexican word meaning "flea" because of its smallness. In 1995, Texans named the Jalapeño pepper the official pepper of the state of Texas. But, just two years later, the Tepin took over as the official native pepper of Texas.
