Dorset Naga® (Capsicum chinense), measuring about 1,000,000 Scoville
Heat Units, is one of the hottest chillies in the world. Its scorching heat is combined with a distinctive fruity aroma, making it a truly exceptional chilli.



Dorset Naga® was developed by us from the Bangladeshi chilli naga morich (sometimes spelt naga morrich). The original stock came from an Asian shop in Bournemouth, and it took us several years to develop the uniform and distinct population.

Other ultra hot chillies go under an assortment of names such as bhut jolokia, bih jolokia and naga jolokia. Although closely related they are not the same as Dorset Naga.

This means that if you don’t purchase Dorset Naga from us, it may not be the real thing. So, get the genuine article – buy from Sea Spring Seeds and accept no substitutes.
