flavor, taste
味 centers on the sensory experience of flavor and taste, whether literal or figurative. It covers the quality that makes something delicious or distinctive.
味 combines 口 (mouth) with 未, which likely contributes the sound and may suggest something not yet fully experienced, relating to savoring flavor.
A mouth 口 next to 未, which looks like a tree with extra branches, can be remembered as a mouth tasting the not-yet-ripe fruit to check its flavor.
For ミ, imagine tasting a flavor so good it makes you say 'me!' because you want it all for yourself: me -> ミ.
