My sample was taken from the leftover water and dregs from a cup of Yogi Lemon Ginger tea that I had been drinking. To collect the sample, I poured some of the water on the slide and placed a cover slip over it. When looking into the foldscope, I was interested to see the variety of shapes of the particles. I’d be interesting to see if the same particles would be observed in different teas or in samples from different tea cups.
