What makes it special?
The Russian Travel Tomato is an extraordinarily segmented, red tomato. The individual fruit sections can usually be broken off without a knife, releasing only a little juice – hence the name Travel Tomato.
Flavour-wise, it's spicy-aromatic and noticeably more tart than many sweet beefsteak tomatoes. The vigorous cordon tomato needs a support and a sunny, sheltered spot.
Flavour & Use
Spicy-aromatic, firm-fleshed and clearly tart. For sharing and snacking, a light lunch, salad, picnics and hikes.
Fruit & Plant
Deep red, strongly segmented fruit made up of several easily separable chambers. Usually around 100–130 g; individual segments around 20–40 g.
Growing & Care
Plant in a sunny, warm and, where possible, rain-sheltered spot. As a cordon tomato, tie in and prune regularly; alternatively, train it with multiple shoots on a sturdy trellis. In a pot, use at least 25 litres of soil.

Russian Travel Tomato plant – a young plant raised by us
Russian Travel Tomato – special features of the variety
The Russian Travel Tomato is also known as Travel Tomato, Voyage or Travel. Its deep red fruit consists of several clearly defined segments that can usually be broken off individually. According to common variety descriptions, the variety comes from Guatemala; the "Russian" in its name is not a confirmed indication of Russian origin.
Fruit, flavour and use
A single fruit usually weighs around 100 to 130 grams, individual segments around 20 to 40 grams. The firm flesh releases only a little juice at the small break point. Flavour-wise, the Travel Tomato is spicy-aromatic and clearly tart. It's easy to share and suits a light lunch, picnics, hikes and salad.
Growing in a bed or pot
Grown as a cordon tomato, the variety reaches around 200 to 250 centimetres and is pruned regularly. Alternatively, it can be trained with multiple shoots on a sturdy trellis. A full-sun, warm and, where possible, rain-sheltered spot is favourable. In a pot, plan for at least 25 litres of soil.
A tomato young plant, raised by us
We raise the Russian Travel Tomato plant ourselves at our family business in Illmitz. After shipping, the young plant should first stand in a bright, sheltered spot and be gradually acclimatised to direct sun and wind. It only goes outdoors permanently once no more late frosts are expected.
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!

longterm customer
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!
