An absolutely gorgeous Capsicum Chinense variety with amazing variegation. There is something about variegation + purple that makes this plant absolutely pop. Right from early on in the season it quickly became one of my favourites.
Seeds were bought from Matt's Peppers in 2022 and I grew a plant in 2023. The original breeder of this cross is Agus Bangkat Widagdo.
The pods are very much biquinho / chupetinho shaped, as expected. Mine "ripened" from dark purple to a slightly less dark purple. The pods are peach underneath all the anthocyanin so it is very difficult to determine ripeness. I would recommend going out at night to check, the pods which glow more are ripe. Also, the calyx begins to lift, and there is a peach underlayer visible near the top of the pod.
The taste is spectacularly interesting. I have never had a salty tasting pepper before... until this guy rocked up.
This is still unstable at F4 or F5, so your results may vary.
