Pepper T), developed from the original 'Moruga Scorpion Red' from Trinidad. Kevin says, "I do not know what else he used to breed it up, but it has a wonderful flavor that is rich like the original Moruga, yet fruity and light. The heat is well over 1 million Scoville heat units, making it a 10/10 for heat. Intense flavor and intense heat."
