Yes, I agree. I like a good cuppa tea; if it's too weak, it isn't good.
Same as if it's too strong; there's a happy medium that makes for good
tea.

I know they didn't have Duke's when I lived in the area in the mid 80s.
One of my neighbors was from GA and brought back several jars when she
went home on leave once.  I'm enjoying having it readily available now.

I remember that store and plaza--there used to be a TG&Y crafts store
there. Never got anything at HEB but did at the TG&Y until they went out
of business.  Grocery shopping was done at the Fort Hood commissary and
GNC (that was when they were still selling food).
