Om, what you wrote re the body purging itself thru the cold makes a LOT of sense to me!
years ago I had colds all thru the winter, and I used up tons of tissues with all the mucus the body was getting rid of....
when I added alkaline Schussler salts it all stopped! I have not had a severe cold in years.
About the black tea, I heard that it changes quality - apparently if you let it steep longer it develops alkaline characteristics plus it is no longer stimulating, as opposed to when you leave it for 1-2 mins only ....
Edit: although I think that what is most acidic of all is our ego....
when I was in my spiritual blissful highs , I found that I could eat anything and my body would not be acidic. The ego with its negative destructive thoughts acidifies the body imo.
