Description

Bhut Jolokia Pepper Seeds Original – Early 2000’s Lineage

The True Bhut Jolokia – Pure Since Early 2000’s

These Bhut Jolokia pepper seeds come from an unaltered lineage dating back to 2006-2009, long before the Ghost Pepper became a global sensation. I first obtained this strain from a fellow traveler who discovered it in a garden near the river in the Assam region of India. Since then, I’ve preserved it pure and true, ensuring that every plant grown from these seeds delivers the same legendary heat and flavor as the first Bhut Jolokias to reach America.

A Flavor Unlike Any Other

The Bhut Jolokia is famous for more than just its extreme heat—it has a distinct, unforgettable flavor:

  • Slightly floral with a deep, savory undertone
  • That funky, cheesy body odor aroma (in the best way possible)
  • An intense, creeping heat that builds and lingers

If you remember the original Bhut Jolokias from India, you’ll recognize this taste instantly. This is not a hybridized ghost pepper or a watered-down version—it’s the real deal.
