How to choose

For gentle heat, choose Green Goblin’s verde and garlic profile or Loki Lingering’s honey and maple notes. For medium heat with a kimchi twist, choose Killer Kimchi. For fruit-forward flavour, choose Phantom Pineapple’s medium-heat pineapple-mango profile or Blazen Berry’s mild-to-medium mixed-fruit, citrus and cinnamon profile.

White widow is rated 4/5. Lucifer’s Lava is described as extreme heat: start with a few drops and build gradually. With Killer Kimchi, Loki Lingering, Phantom Pineapple and Blazen Berry, start with a small drizzle and add more to taste.
