Mikan (Unshu Mandarin orange) is exceptionally juicy, sweet, and refreshing, and because of this, it’s the most popular citrus fruit in Japan. Featuring this beloved citrus and nutritious lemon myrtle, Ehime Mikan Herbal Tea is especially uplifting. Ehime-based and family-owned herb specialty company, Ehime Herb, crafts this special tea. They dry locally grown mikan slowly at low temperatures in order to intensify the sweetness and retain color. Additionally, they use quality herbs, including those grown in-house. Then they pack the blended tea by hand, which allows the use of larger pieces, thereby maximizing the character of each ingredient. Lemon myrtle contains an abundance of citral, a nutrient known to have powerful antibacterial and analgesic effects. The tea also blends lemon verbena and heath. It is a caffeine-free drink, and no artificial flavorings or preservatives are used. It comes with 6 individual tea bags.

How to enjoy Ehime Mikan Tea (Mikan, Lemon Myrtle, & Lemon Verbena):

To brew Ehime Mikan Herbal Tea, place a pyramid-shaped sachet in a cup, pour boiling water (150−180ml / 5-6 oz) over it, and wait for about five minutes. Make sure to swirl the sachet around in the cup a few times before removing it. Then you’ll have an invigorating tea with a pleasing lemony aroma. You can serve the herb tea hot or chilled. If you like to try cold brewing, add one pyramid-shaped sachet into cold water (400ml / 13 oz) and let it sit for about 12 hours in the fridge.

Ingredients:

Lemon Myrtle, Lemon Verbena, Orange Chip, Heath.

Sweet and delicious

Such a nice taste of sweet and tangy. My daughter enjoys it straight from the bag as a snack.

If Sriracha and yuzu koshou had a baby, this sauce is probably it. there's a faint, pleasant fermented note (not unlike kimchi), accented by strong citrus notes. The spiciness is mellow and there's a good bit of salt in there. Great for marination for grilled pork and stir fries. Also has great synergy with lighter Asian soup/noodle/stew dishes. We've decided to retire our shichimitogarashi after receiving this. Really good buy

It's clearly made with the same milling process as regular matcha and so behaves the same way. Unless you're a matcha connoisseur, you probably can't tell this isn't matcha, especially if it's in a matcha latte. It's got the same color and same grassy notes. It does lack the bitterness and unami flavors of matcha. I'd say it's a totally acceptable replacement.

We love ponzu but due to soy allergy in our child, we've had to give that up. We were skeptical of this at first but we're sold. Collectively we like it more than regular ponzu. It's been great with pork shabu as a dipping sauce, works wonderfully as a salad dressing, and also great for a light broth for somen or chazuke. Super versatile and really lovely and refreshing.

Flavor 4.8/5
It smells exactly like soy sauce, but is less salty, hence docking off the 0.2 points. It has the same flavors and umami but a deeper aftertaste.

Coconut aminos may work for stir fries, but if you're east asian and make braised dishes, you genuinely need real soy sauce. We've had to avoid soy due to milk and soy protein allergies in our child, and this has worked for all our dishes (sukiyaki don, braised pork rice, beef noodles etc.)

Our only gripe is that they don't sell it in a bigger bottle, and since it's less salty than regular soy sauce, you need to use more per dish.
