Yes, you can use hot & cold for tea.
But the first sentence would be:"Tea is becoming colder" Because here we have the idea of comparison,i.e.Becoming (getting). For example: She is becoming prettier. (She looks prettier than the previous days. Comparison between present and previous days)

2.Tea is so hot. - Some grammarians consider it incorrect. Because so introduces "That-clause", i.e. Tea is so hot that we cannot have it.
So it should be:Tea is very hot.

hmmm...very good elaboration dear...yes here we are transitioning from one state that is at hand, to other...like the tea has to be cold before it gets colder as colder is the comparative of cold...the tea does not become colder rather it getscolder as become is reserved for describing something that was not so before but it has become now like i have become a CSP...

yes that is correct so takes second clause except that mistake... we do not have tea rather we take it as have is reserved for meals...
