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.

actually dear my friend told me that we cannot use
cold or hot with tea , he said there is a specific(particular) word which we can use for tea.
that's why i become confused.
dear my grammar is not so good, I want to improve so i am facing lot of difficulties thanks for replying.

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...
