Chiltepin Cappuccino: A Rare Pepper with Unique Flavor and Magic

The Chiltepin Cappuccino is a truly rare and extraordinary variety of pepper, with its origins tracing back to the wilds of Sonora, a state in northwestern Mexico. This exceptional pepper is known not only for its heat but also for its unique flavor profile and its reputation among locals for magical healing properties. The small, round peppers ripen to a rich, deep brown color, earning the “Cappuccino” name for their distinct appearance.

The Chiltepin Cappuccino plants are compact and bushy, typically growing to a modest height, and are incredibly prolific. They produce thousands of tiny peppers that drop off the plant easily once fully ripened, making them a breeze to harvest. Simply brushing them off the plant is enough to collect these little gems. Each pepper packs a serious punch, delivering a fiery heat that ranges from 50,000 to 100,000 SHU, perfect for those who enjoy an intense spice experience.

Flavor-wise, the Chiltepin Cappuccino offers a unique and earthy profile, with smoky and slightly fruity notes that complement its heat. This pepper is ideal for making flavorful hot sauces, chili oil, or adding a spicy kick to various dishes. Its versatility and distinctive flavor make it a treasured addition to any spice lover's collection.
