The Home of the Dorset Naga®

Dorset Naga (Capsicum chinense) is closely related to the Scotch Bonnet and habanero, chillies renown for their intense heat. Dorset Naga, however, takes the heat to a new level, measuring about 1 million Scoville Heat Units and holding the title of one of the hottest chillies in the world. Its scorching heat is combined with a distinctive fruity aroma that give culinary thrill seekers a sensory experience not found in any other chilli.



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

Other ultra hot chillies go under an assortment of names such as bhut jolokia, bih jolokia and naga jolokia, but they are not the same as
Dorset Naga. Genuine seeds of Dorset Naga are produced only by us on our market garden in Dorset. Likewise, Seed Spring Seeds is the only
authorised seller of Dorset Naga seeds. This means that if you don’t purchase Dorset Naga from us, it may not be the real thing. So, to be sure that you are getting the genuine article, buy only from Sea Spring Seeds and accept no substitutes.
