If not done by machine, how did you arrive at the heat scale you use to
apply to the chile seeds sold on your site? I checked out the Redwood City
Seed Co. website, and they list 17 different chiles that they claim (with
no documentation other than their own heat scale) to be hotter than the Red
Savina. They also claim to have seeds to a "WHITE BULLET™ Habañero" which
they say is the hottest of the Habanero group. From looking at the
pictures it would not seem even to be located in the cultivar
Chinense. I've never seen a habanero or scotch bonnet that set it's fruit
vertically. Finally, they incorrectly spell all their habaneros with a
tilde over the "n."
