Chocolate Hot Paper Lantern

In 2023 we noticed a maroon Hot Paper Lantern.  We did what anyone would do: We grew out this little quirk.  The next year, assuming it was an unintentional cross and not a funky mutation – we grew out the F2 seeds to watch the chaos of F2 land.  Selecting the brown fruit with the structure and taste profile in the habanero world, those seeds were gown out in 2025.  These seeds will grow F5 of the somewhat stabilized Chocolate Hot Paper Lantern.

250000 SHU. This is an estimate. Scoville ratings will change based on growing conditions. Rarer superhots may still have genetic instability in heat expression.
