Sepia Serpent

Sepia Serpent is a super-hot Capsicum chinense hybrid described in seed listings as a cross between extremely high heat parent varieties. Most commonly it is listed as involving Trinidad Scorpion Butch Taylor and 7 Pot Douglah or Douglah Brown lines. Parent descriptions vary between sellers, and there is no publicly documented breeder record confirming a single authoritative lineage.

Pods are heavily wrinkled with a rough surface and mature from green to brown or dark red tones. Shape is typically round to slightly irregular. The dark colour and intense heat are reflected in the name.

Heat is widely cited around 1500000 SHU. Some listings give slightly higher or lower ranges. There are no widely published independent laboratory tests specific to this named variety, and reported figures come from seller and enthusiast sources. Variability between heat claims suggests differences in strain or growing conditions.

Flavour descriptions mention strong heat with underlying fruity or citrus notes and occasional earthy or nut-like characteristics. These descriptions are anecdotal and not based on formal sensory studies.

Plants are reported by some sellers to reach approximately 90.0 to 120.0 cm in height, though detailed horticultural measurements are not consistently documented.

There is no clearly documented origin country or first recorded appearance in formal literature. Available information comes mainly from commercial seed catalogues and enthusiast communities rather than breeder publications.
