Buy a microscope. Much cheaper in the long run. Unless you are getting your tea tested within 4-5 hours or brewing it then the test is not accurate. The microbes die off in 6-8 hours. I have scoped tea that was only 4 hours old, and the microbial life diminished by almost half. So tell me how I am suppose to over night a sample, and get an accurate result? Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out.
Below is a tea that was brewed at 64 degrees for 24 hours. It did not pass the test. With a temp that low I would have to extend the brew time by another 12 or more hours, and also add more food. By the looks of it the average person would think that it was an acceptable tea.
