St Helena Distillery tour

Tungi is the local word for prickly pear or cactus.  The fruit is edible, although it has to be peeled carefully to remove the small spines on the outer skin before consumption.  ‘Tungi Spirit' is the name given to a distilled product made on St. Helena from the fruit of the prickly or cactus pear (Opuntica ficus-indica fruit).   

The proprietor of the St Helena Distillery makes other locally produced drinks like 'Midnight Mist'; a popular island coffee liquor, White Lion Spiced Rum, Apple Brandy and more.
