Chiltepin / Tepin - This hot pepper is delicious on ice cream, or in iced coffee. It is native and grows wild in Texas, Arizona and Mexico. Many birds consume the Tepin pepper and disperse the seeds into the wild, but do not feel the ‘heat’ of the pepper like mammals. The ancient Chiltepin is called the “mother of all peppers,” and is thought to be the oldest of all Capsicum annum species. The word Tepin is from the Nahuatl language of the Aztec Indians. It means “flea” because of its small size.
These round to oval fruits are only 3/8” wide. It is often confused with the Pequin that is a small oval with a point. The Tepin grow on 36” tall plants and have extreme heat. All peppers are perennials, so if your plant survives the winter without freezing, the shrub can get very large. Capsicum annuum (120 days)
