About

Hi there, we're Calvin and Crystalyn from Pepper Geek. We have a passion for growing and cooking with hot peppers.

We've been helping gardeners and spicy food lovers make homemade hot sauces for years through our videos and ebooks. When we first considered making our own hot sauce, it seemed like a daunting task. We had fun flavor ideas and some good recipes, but making something that was ready-for-sale was foreign to us.

So, we wanted to collaborate with an established player in the game. Our first thought was to reach out to our favorite hot sauce maker, Karma Sauce (who make some of the best sauces on Earth and regularly work with Hot Ones)...and they responded 🤯.

Over the next 2 years, we worked together with Karma's founder, Gene, discussing our ideas and vision for a versatile, flavor-packed hot sauce that could be used on virtually anything. Countless iterations, tweaks, and many conversations later, and we now have "Belizean Bite." As the name implies, it is inspired by traditional hot sauce ingredients from Belize, like habanero, carrot, and ginger. With Gene's magical touch, this sauce has everything we wanted to share with you.

We hope you love our first sauce, and look forward to working on our next hot sauce soon 🌶️
