Konyagi is a clear spirit distilled in Tanzania, and while it’s often referred to as a “local gin,” it’s technically not a true gin because it doesn’t contain juniper. Instead, it’s made from a neutral alcohol base with natural citrus and spice flavorings, giving it a unique and recognizable taste profile.
Produced by Tanzania Distilleries Limited, Konyagi is a staple in East African bars and homes, appreciated for its versatility, affordability, and cultural identity. It’s typically consumed with tonic water, soda, or fruit juice, and often shared in social settings.
