Limited Edition: Red Hydra (aka Hydra Red)

"Bloodfire Serpent"

A Myth Reborn in Fire
The Red Hydra is the Bloodfire Serpent, a rare cross of Sepia Serpent and Reaper Sbagliato. It looks as dangerous as it tastes. Pods are rough, twisted, and often end with a sharp tail. The heat is immediate and crushing, has been known to reach heat levels well over 2,000,000 SHU (although this particular batch tested just shy of 1 million SHU),

For a few seconds you taste a floral sweetness. Then the fire takes over and does not let go. The burn can last 20 minutes or more. This is not a pepper for the faint of heart.

Only 50 grinders available. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
