Our story

Working with pepper seedlings in the greenhouse Bolivian Rainbow pepper plant with purple fruits

It all started with a growbox and a passion for heat. Today we grow our plants on a balcony in Gordola, where the Ticino sun gives our peppers a unique flavour.

We cultivate selected varieties — Cayenne Fuego, Borg9 Peach, Pink Tigers and Black Naga Bloodred — which we dry and hand-grind to create bold powder and flake blends.
