Sweetheat — 5M+ SHU Golden Superhot

Sweet Heat

“Volcano meets honey.”

Born from a collaboration between SpiceQuest and Roger from The Hot Dang Show, Sweet Heat is an experiment in balance — the fire of a superhot pepper wrapped in the golden glow of sweetness. It’s bold, bright, and unforgettable.

This isn’t just heat for heat’s sake. Roger challenged us to create something hot, yes — but not bitter. Something that could light up your palate without drowning it in pain. We went back to the lab and pulled from our rarest harvests. After dozens of trial blends, we landed on something extraordinary: a golden-hued superhot with a citrusy brightness and floral-fruity notes, elevated just enough with natural capsaicin extract to satisfy the heat chasers — without overwhelming the flavor chasers.

The pepper we used? Let’s just say we’re keeping that secret. What we will tell you is this: it’s one of the rarest yellow superhots in the world. A mutant offshoot of a legendary lineage, refined and stabilized by passionate growers over several years. It’s as striking in appearance as it is on the tongue — bright, golden, and bumpy like cooled lava rock. The flavor hits with a lemony sweetness before the heat rolls in and takes over like a rising tide of flame.

Only a limited batch of Sweetheat exists — and each grinder is housed in our newest, never-before-released matte black body, designed to echo the volcanic force behind this blend. Fire and gold, flavor and fury. All in one.
