What makes it special?
Naga Twister Black is an extraordinary Capsicum chinense superhot with very dark foliage and fruit that ripens from deep violet to almost black through to red.
The seed supplier describes the variety at up to around 1,000,000 SHU or more. Since there's no independently standardised average measurement for this, we treat this figure as a supplier claim and clearly place the variety in the superhot range.
We raise the plants ourselves in Illmitz. Naga Twister Black is interesting both for collectors of dark chillies and for experienced fans of extreme heat.
Flavour & Use
Naga Twister Black is described as fruity with a lightly smoky note, though extreme heat is clearly the main feature.
For the kitchen, we recommend very small amounts – for example, for ferments, chilli oil, dried powder, hot curries or concentrated spice pastes.
The seed supplier states values up to around 1,000,000 SHU or higher. We don't use this figure as an exact lab value, but as a guide to the very high heat.
We recommend gloves and particular care when processing.
Fruit & Plant
Naga Twister Black belongs to Capsicum chinense. The foliage can appear very dark to almost black, making the plant an eye-catcher even before the fruit ripens.
The fruit starts deep violet to black and turns red at full ripeness. This gives the plant a strong colour contrast over the course of the season.
As with modern dark superhot lines, the intensity of the pigmentation can vary depending on light and growing conditions.
Growing & Care
For Naga Twister Black, we recommend a full-sun, very warm and sheltered spot. Plenty of light supports the dark pigmentation; at the same time, this Capsicum chinense needs a long, warm season.
For pot growing, we recommend at least 8 litres, ideally 10 litres of soil volume. If you have the space, 15–20 litres is ideal.
The substrate should be nutrient-rich and well-draining. Water evenly, but avoid waterlogging. Feed regularly and moderately with a suitable tomato or vegetable fertiliser during growth and fruiting.
The plant is frost-sensitive but can be overwintered frost-free.

Naga Twister Black – a dark superhot with up to 1 million SHU
Naga Twister Black combines the look of a dark collector's chilli with the heat of a genuine superhot. The foliage can appear almost black, while the fruit ripens from deep violet or black through to red. That makes the variety, both visually and in flavour, one of our special rare chilli plants.
How hot is Naga Twister Black?
The seed supplier describes Naga Twister Black at values of up to around 1,000,000 SHU or more. We don't have an independently documented average measurement for this line. We therefore treat the figure as a supplier claim and transparently classify the variety as a superhot.
Dark foliage, red ripe fruit
Under good light conditions, the plant develops very dark leaves. The young fruit is also deep violet to almost black. Only with full ripeness does it turn a bold red. This colour progression is especially interesting if you're looking for a chilli that stands out in a pot for more than just its heat.
Using Naga Twister Black
Given the extreme heat, small amounts go a long way. Suitable uses include ferments, chilli oil, strongly spiced curries, dried powder or concentrated spice pastes. The supplier describes the aroma as fruity with smoky undertones. We recommend gloves and very clean handling when processing.
Growing a dark superhot
A full-sun, very warm spot is ideal. In a pot, we recommend at least 8 litres, ideally 10 litres; with 15–20 litres, the roots get an especially generous run. A greenhouse or a sheltered spot against a house wall helps make better use of Capsicum chinense's long ripening time. A well-known naga/ghost comparison is the Bhut Jolokia; you'll find more superhots among our extremely hot chilli plants.
Absolutely recommended! I’m completely impressed with this chili plant seller. The quality of the plants is outstanding – strong, healthy, and clearly grown with passion and expertise.
The absolute highlight for me, however, was that this seller is one of the few places that offers my all-time favorite variety, the Lemon Drop chili. I’ve finally found a reliable source for this fantastic variety!
Shipping was fast, and the plants were perfectly packaged, so they arrived in excellent condition. I can wholeheartedly recommend this seller to any chili lover looking for top quality and fast delivery. I will definitely be ordering here again!

I’ve been buying my chili powder from the Tschida family for years, and it’s the best you can get. The family is always very friendly and helpful as well. I can wholeheartedly recommend their products to everyone.

#1 Spice supplier
Super friendly service when buying chili plants, and the products are truly excellent. My #1 source for heat :) The ultimate compliment came from an Indian colleague who said that with Tschida chili sauces, he can finally enjoy the level of heat he knows from home here in Europe!

Simply top!
Tschida Tschili – where heat and flavor come together in perfect harmony. The chili products are simply outstanding. I love spicy food, but many products just burn your tongue without delivering any real flavor. With Tschida Tschili, it’s completely different. For an experienced palate, everything is very enjoyable. The flavors are perfectly matched to the level of heat, resulting in truly delicious products.
I visit the farm from time to time as part of my culinary tours with groups. What can I say? Jan and his family are simply the perfect hosts – friendly, authentic, and genuinely local. I always really enjoy visiting you!
