    Chilli pepper Condor's Beak, which translates to "Cajamarca," is a beautiful fruit that starts a vibrant purple, unique to C. sinense varieties, and matures to a rich red. The wonderful fragrant aroma of chile pepper Cajamarca captures your attention with its intense, spicy citrus fragrance and the classic Habanero fruity undertone. Named after the region in northern Peru where it originates, part of the Amazon jungle.
