Ginger
No, this isn't a Spice Girl.
But it might make you go a zig-a-zig-ah!
Hot and zesty but also sweet and warm, oxymoron ginger has that unique ability to be spicy at the same time as it is mellow.
A wonderfully welcoming autumnal spice if you want to pack up your troubles and evoke the woody, cosy ambience of an inviting country cottage.
