Midyim

Description by @jominime

Austromyrtus tenuifolia and Austromyrtus dulcis are both native Australian shrubs in the myrtle family known for edible berries. A. dulcis (Midyim Berry) is a low, spreading ground cover with broader leaves and sweeter fruit, while A. tenuifolia (Narrow-leaved Midyim) grows taller and more slender with very fine, needle-like leaves.

differences out of the way, here are the reported tastes for this berry:
taste sweet and aromatic, combining a blueberry-like base flavor with unique hints of ginger, eucalyptus, nutmeg, and a mild spicy finish.
Primary Taste: Sweet and sugary, often compared to a light mix of fairy floss or custard.
Secondary Notes: Distinct herbal and spicy undertones like ginger, nutmeg, and eucalyptus.
