Aji charapita

A hot Capsicum chinense from the jungle areas of Peru, where several varieties of Aji Charapita exist. Pea-sized fruits are produced in large quantities on bushy plants. Incredibly productive! Peppers are yellow-orange when fully ripe. Great for fermented pepper mashes to make hot sauce. Milder than habanero, but still plenty fiery. Less of the "goaty" aroma found in many C. chinense. Staking the plants is optional.
