The THSC Rika Usami Scorpion, developed by The Hippy Seed Company, is a formidable rival to the legendary Carolina Reaper. Named in honour of karate champion Rika Usami, this variety delivers exceptional heat paired with a sweet, fruity undertone. Its compact, bushy plants can grow up to one meter tall, producing an abundance of fiery pods that ripen from green to a vivid red—making it a standout both in flavour and performance.
