🌶️ Trinidad Scorpion Chocolate Cappuccino Pepper Seeds (Non-Isolated) – Sweet, Smoky Heat Over 1,000,000 SHU
The Trinidad Scorpion Chocolate Cappuccino Pepper is one of the most striking and flavorful super hots you can grow. Milder than the original Trinidad Scorpion but still blazing past 1,000,000+ Scoville Heat Units, this variety brings incredible heat along with a surprisingly sweet, smoky, almost coffee-like depth. It’s a flavor bomb ideal for hot sauces, BBQ blends, powders, and marinades.
These vigorous plants reach up to 4 ft. tall and thrive in a variety of climates. Expect generous yields of 2-inch wrinkled pods with classic Scorpion features: bumpy texture, a tight curl, and that unmistakable stinger-like tail. Pods ripen from green to a deep cappuccino brown, though some may turn red depending on their pollination (more on that below!).
🌿 About These Seeds (Non-Isolated / Open-Pollinated)
These are non-isolated pepper seeds, meaning they were grown open-pollinated within about 400 feet of other pepper varieties.
What that means for you:
-
You may see some natural variation in pod color and shape, including both chocolate-brown and red fruits.
-
Plants will still produce true Scorpion heat, but with a fun mix of visual traits.
-
This is a natural, common part of open-pollinated pepper gardening and many growers love the surprise element!
If you want a 100% stabilized, guaranteed-pure strain, check out your Isolated Pepper Seed options but if you enjoy unique color expression and a little genetic adventure, this batch is perfect.
