15 seeds from our plants in Berlin. Deep brown, wrinkled peppers with earthy flavour and extreme heat. Chocolate in colour only.

Origin and breeding

The Chocolate Bhutlah is a superhot chili developed in the USA, originally bred by Chad Soleski. It's believed to be a cross between Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper) and 7 Pot Douglah, combining the traits of both into a fierce, dark-skinned pod. The name itself is a fusion of “Bhut” (from Bhut Jolokia) and “Douglah”, reflecting its heritage. The Chocolate Bhutlah is known for its deep, wrinkled pods, extreme heat, and earthy, smoky flavor.

Growing in our Berlin setup

• We start these indoors from November to January in Berlin, using grow lights and a heating mat. Adjust the timing to your climate and setup. We use nursery trays or 5×5×5 cm pots.
• Use light, well-draining seed-starting soil.
• Soil temp: 26 to 30 °C, Air temp: 22 to 28 °C, Humidity: >60%.
• Use a humidity dome + heating mat.
• Provide 12 to 16 hours of light daily.
• Add airflow with a fan after germination.

Flavour and heat

Earthy, smoky and fruity, with a sharp bite.

Estimated heat: 1,800,000 to 2,000,000 SHU.

Our peppers haven’t been lab-tested for Scoville heat.

We grow each variety ourselves before offering the seeds, and save seeds from peppers that best match the variety. Our plants are open-pollinated, so you may still see some variation in the peppers you grow.
