Where to buy good quality Turkish tea and food souvenirs (like pomegranate sauce) in Antalya without overpaying?

TL;DR
Buy Turkish tea and pomegranate sauce (nar ekşisi) at local supermarkets (Migros, CarrefourSA) or neighborhood markets rather than tourist shops — prices are lower and quality more consistent. Stick to trusted brands for instant/powder tea, as quality varies a lot between batches.

Be careful with the popular instant powder tea — quality varies a lot between batches, so it's better to buy a well-known, trusted brand at a supermarket rather than a random one.

For tea as a gift to bring home, it's safer to choose medium-sized packs rather than the biggest ones — this reduces the risk of ending up with a poor-quality product.
