Chile Tepin .75 Oz bag

Description

Chile Tepin, also known as chiltepin, is a beloved Mexican chile pepper. They are a landrace chile variety similar to aji charapita or Chimayo chile. It is not a very common or easy to go type of chile, so it is pretty pricey. That being said, many people love the bright flash of spice this pepper has, dried in many places in Mexico and fresh in the large chile growing regions such as the state of Chihuahua, MX. The heat of chiltepin is somewhat higher than Aji Charapita, but in the same general range. It is much hotter than Hatch Lumbre chile, but less than a habanero. If you have one by itself, it might be spicy for 10-15 minutes, but it won’t ruin your day.
