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.

Thoughts can absolutely be acidic *negative thoughts certainly fall on the acidic side of the equation.
When we are young, foods that create acid ash in the body are still creating acid ash in the body, it is just that the body has only an accumulation of very few years. This will build up over time causing discomfort and dis-ease. This is awareness and observation, not ego ( although yes this can come into play too. A body that lives in a world such as our will always have mucus--mucus is essentially lymph, our lymph system, the material that forms in our lymph system, <-- this is where the over accumulation of acid waste in the body goes to be processed and removed.
We have the veinous system, this is our blood, which must stay just to the alkaline side of chemistry ( 7.4 ph ), and we have the lymph system, which again is the catchment system for excess acids *through which all in excess is processed and removed *through the bladder, bowels, breath and skin. The veinous system can be though of our kitchen, it feeds us. The lymph system can be though of as the bathroom, it processes and eliminates waste.
We can work to support and not overburden our systems. Or against them and gradually gain "difficulty" as we move through life.
As a society we tend to work against the body but there is always the option to wake up to this sooner than later.
