Chao Tian Jiao Chili Pepper: Facing Heaven Pepper

Chao Tian Jiao, literally translated to "Facing Heaven Pepper," gets its name from the way it grows. Peppers grow pointing straight up toward the sky. 

With a Scoville rating of 30,000-50,000, it brings sharp, focused heat without overwhelming everything else in the dish.

This is the chili you see in classic Sichuan dishes, piled high and regal-looking.

What Makes Chao Tian Jiao Special: It's got serious heat, but it's clean heat, not just burning for the sake of burning. 

The flavor is bright and sharp, which is why it's so popular in dishes where you want both spice and complexity.

What to Use Chao Tian Jiao For:

  • Chongqing Chicken (La Zi Ji): The classic use, buried in a mountain of these chilies
  • Dry pot dishes: Where you want visible heat and texture
  • Sichuan hot pot: Adds sharp spiciness to the broth
  • Stir-fries: When you want proper heat that doesn't kill the other flavors

Who Is This For: Anyone cooking authentic Sichuan dishes where Facing Heaven peppers are specified. If you want your food to look like it came from a proper Sichuan restaurant, you need these.

How to Store: Keep in a cool, dry place. They'll last for years.

Size: 200g
