India's Premier Heat Variety
Teja — also known as S17 — is one of the most sought-after dry red chilli varieties in India and globally. Grown across the fertile Guntur and Krishna belts of Andhra Pradesh, Teja is prized for its exceptionally high capsaicin content, making it the go-to choice for hot sauces, commercial spice processors, and heat-forward cuisines.
WGAN Farms sources Teja directly from growers who have cultivated this variety for generations. Each pod is sun-dried on open yards without artificial heat or sulphur treatment, preserving the natural pungency and deep red colour that Teja is famous for.
Perfect for homemade chilli oil, masala blends, and any dish that demands serious heat. Use sparingly — Teja commands respect in the kitchen.
