Pepper mayhem 
Tasting 18 peppers, phuuh...
I compered the taste of these peppers:
Trinidad Seasoning, Aji Rocatillo, Jamaican Bell, Etkezipaprika, Fenir, Golden Cayenne, Aji Norteno, Aji Amarillo, Hybrid of Blondie, Hot Lemon, Omnicolor, Rocoto Red, Rocoto Orange, Rocoto Yellow, Yellow Bumpy, Shiny Red, Habanero, Trinidad Scorpion.
I tried the peppers on thier own and on sandwich with butter and cheese.
Trinidad Seasoning and Aji Rocatillo had a typical chinense taste with hits of exotic fruits(as Mango). Both are mild but with some heat.
Jamaican Bell and Aji Norteno had a typical baccatum taste. Jamaican Bell are quite mild but with some heat. Aji Norteno are hot but not very hot.
Etkezeipaprika and Fenir had similar heat (very little). Etkezipaprika was sweeter than Fenir.
Golden Cayenne tasted like a typical cayenne pepper. Not very hot.
Aji Amarillo (or Aji Amarillo Mirasol) has a very nice fruity taste.
Hot Lemon had a wonderful taste with hits of currant, grape and lemon. Omnicolor has the typical baccatum taste but it also reminds me of Hot Lemon. Hybrid of Blonide reminded me of Hot Lemon in the taste.
Rocoto Red, Rocoto Orange, Rocoto Yellow all have an elegant flavor. Its hard to desrcibe - actually the first thing that comes to mind is sugarpeas. Very useful in the kitchen. Not very sweet. If I had to choose one of them i think i would go for the Rocoto orange.
Yellow Bumpy, Shiny Red, Habanero, Trinidad Scorpion all had the typical chinense taste but they also where diffrent in taste. Yellow Bumpy had as so many yellow peppers some hits of citrus and grape, Shiny Red reminded me of the other red habaneros I have tested. The Orange Habanero has the taste of exotic fruits(as Mango) (they alla have). The Trindad Scorpion are also a tasty pepper.
Summery:
The most tasty mild pepper: Trinidad Seasoning and Aji Rocatillo are both great mild capsicum chinense peppers. If I had to choose one I think i would go for the Trindad seasoning. But of all mild peppers i think the most useful would be Etkezipaprika.
The most tasty hot pepper: Hot Lemon has been a favorite for a long time and it still is. To me it had the best taste and aroma. But I also must mention the Aji Amarillo and the Rocotos as very tasty peppers. The Rocotos are my opinion maybe the most useful peppers of all, their mild aroma simply works with everything.
The most tasty very hot pepper: all the very hot capsicum chinense are very tasty. But I think I prefere the Yellow Bumpy if I had to choose one.
The hottest: Trindad scorpion was without doubt the hottest pepper. On a sandwich with butter and cheese almost all peppers are quite mild. I had no real heat problems with any of the peppers when I ate it with a cheese sandwich exept for the Trinidad Scorpion. I try to remove the innerwalls before tasting - with Trinidad Scorpion thats almost impossilble as it has so much placenta tissue.
