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.

Mine don't have a great flavor. Kind of bitter.

Mine def had some bitterness as well. I got the citrus taste but it was brief and no fruitiness at all

I had good luck with time bombs last year. If you're looking to switch things up check those out. Great alternative to a jalapeno.
