Caramel Bhut Jolokia Ghost

Each pepper seed pack includes 10+ seeds.

The Caramel Bhut Jolokia is a visually striking, superhot chili with heritage roots in Northeast India, combining extreme heat with a nuanced sweet-fruity flavor, making it a prized choice for hot sauces, chili powders, and carefully measured culinary applications.

Cultivar: Caramel Bhut Jolokia Ghost

Genus/Species: Capsicum chinense

Origin: Originated in Northeast India, specifically Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur.  It is a naturally occurring interspecific hybrid between Capsicum chinense and Capsicum frutescens, developed over centuries by local growers selecting for extreme pungency and robust flavors.

Heat Profile: Fiery Hot (10++)

Flavor Profile: Fruity, sweet flavor with subtle smoky undertones. Unlike sharper superhots such as the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, its heat arrives gradually, allowing the fruitiness and sweet undertones to be appreciated before the intense burn develops. The Caramel variant adds a mild earthy complexity attributed to its mature orange-brown pigmentation.

Plant Height: 1.5-4 feet

Pepper Size: 2.5-3.5 inches
