Best chinense variety for a beginner — fight me

My sister wants to start growing hot peppers for the first time. She's in zone 7b, decent sun, has a raised bed. She wants something in the chinense family because she likes fruity heat over the more grassy annuum heat. What would you start her with and why? I know everyone has opinions.

Datil. No question. It's C. chinense, fruity as hell, won't murder a beginner's season if they don't overwater. St. Augustine Florida variety, grows like a weed. Most chinense you'd recommend to a beginner are habanero types anyway, so just say habanero and call it done.

Lemon drop if she wants fruity. Technically it's baccatum not chinense but the flavor is the closest thing to a fruity habanero that a beginner can actually manage. If it HAS to be chinense, Peach habanero. Forgiving plant, puts out heavy.

Worth noting that "fruity" in chinense vs baccatum is a different flavor compound profile — chinense varieties tend toward tropical/apricot esters while baccatum leans more citric. If the goal is habanero-style fruit flavor, she should stick with actual chinense. Orange habanero or a Scotch bonnet are both beginner-compatible in zone 7b given a long enough season start.

Zone 7b she needs to start indoors at least 10 weeks before last frost for chinense or she'll be waiting all summer for pods. If she can't commit to that, annuum is more forgiving. But if she can — orange habanero, start it in February, done.
