Aji Limon / Lemon Drop Opinions Discussion

After reading all the great reviews I decided to grow this variety. They look beautiful but the flavor profile is kind of basic…obviously, taste is subjective. I am curious to see what others think? Are these overhyped? Maybe my growing conditions are a factor in the muted flavor.

My now 17-year-old son has been growing them for 5 years or so and eats them like candy. Mostly fresh but sometimes thrown in a stir fry or the like. I dry them by the handful and then use them all winter long in all sorts of things. They are definitely a staple at my house.
