The Cabanatuan Reaper Mustard is an impressive and rare superhot from the Philippines, beloved by local growers and now gaining ground worldwide. This powerful Capsicum chinense combines the extreme fire of classic Reaper types with a striking mustard/greenish color not often seen in the superhot segment.
The plant grows vigorously and becomes about 1 meter high, with a rich production of large, heavily rippled fruit. The pods ripen from dark green to a deep mustard color, with an oily, aggressive appearance that perfectly suits the intense character of this chili.
The taste is typically chinense: aromatic, rich and immediately followed by a fierce, prolonged heat that only experienced chiliheads appreciate.
