Disciples remove lid, excited to find such interesting flavours (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spices

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'interesting flavours' is the definition.
'spices' can be an answer for 'flavours' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'interesting' bit.

'disciples remove lid excited' is the wordplay.
'remove' is a deletion indicator.
'excited' indicates an anagram.
'disciples' with 'lid' removed is 'scipes'.
'scipes' anagrammed gives 'SPICES'.

'to find such' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spices that I've seen before include "Mace, ginger etc" , "Cinnamon, cardamom etc" , "Plant substances for flavouring food" , "Aromatic flavourings" , "Aromatic substances" .)
