Chocolate Ghost Jami

Chocolate Ghost Jami is a Capsicum chinense hybrid circulating mainly through chilli enthusiast communities and seed catalogues rather than formal horticultural publications. It is commonly described as derived from Peach Ghost Jami crossed with an unspecified pepper to produce a darker chocolate-brown form with strong heat.

Pods mature to deep brown or reddish-brown and have a wrinkled, blistered surface similar to ghost pepper types. Fruit shape is irregular and textured. Plants are described as vigorous and capable of exceeding 100.0 cm in height under favourable conditions.

Heat is generally reported between 800000 and 1000000 SHU. A working value of 800000 SHU reflects the lower central range commonly cited. Some vendors claim figures up to 1500000 SHU, but these higher numbers are not supported by widely published independent laboratory testing and likely represent marketing estimates.

Flavour descriptions mention earthy, floral, or berry-like undertones beneath intense heat. These notes are anecdotal and based on grower reports rather than formal sensory analysis.

There is no clearly documented breeder record, official release statement, or confirmed origin country in accessible sources. Parentage descriptions vary between sellers, and the exact cross beyond Peach Ghost Jami and an unspecified partner is not consistently documented. As a result, lineage details and heat figures should be considered based on community reporting rather than verified academic records.
