The Orange Trinidad Scorpion Butch T is a delicious pepper developed by Steve Bender at Innovation Acre. The pepper is a cross between the iconic Red Trinidad Scorpion Butch T and the fiery Orange 7 Pot Primo, resulting in a truly exceptional variety that combines intense heat with bold flavor.
With a distinctive, stinger-like tail, the Orange Trinidad Butch T Scorpion has an appearance that visually hints at its powerful heat. Although it hasn’t officially been tested, its Scoville Heat rating is estimated to be over 1 million Scoville Heat Units, making it fall into the category of superhot peppers. The initial taste is fruity and slightly citrusy, but the heat quickly builds, delivering a fierce burn that can linger long after consumption.
The Orange Trinidad Scorpion Butch T is ideal for use in hot sauces and salsas or for those daring enough to try it fresh. Its name pays tribute to legendary pepper grower Butch Taylor, who developed the original Trinidad Scorpion Butch T pepper.
