Do you categorize your spices by the country it's from?
No, there are regional sets which I might keep together...but there are so many things that are universal or are on both sides of the planet...so I go by basic tastes, or how they occur in nature, and then by how familiar I am with them, or often I use them.
the basic tastes are:
sweet
salty
sour
bitter
umami (think savory)
