The Caribbean Red, aka Red Savina is one of the hotter habaneros. Now if we are talking about the Scoville scale, the nominal habaneros are in the 100k range, while the Red Savina runs about 250k depending on growing conditions. But the Scoville scale is a linear scale of concentration, while the human sensation scale is exponential. So although the Red Savina is twice as hot as an orange habanero on the Scoville scale, there is a minor difference in the human perception. Another interesting related fact is that the human gustatory system cannot differentiate heat on the Scoville scale above 400k. So the difference in concentrates that are 600k scoville and 1000k scoville in terms of tasting directly is academic. If you're making pot of chili, then it's 2 vs. 1 drop.
