Not really compost tea, but a compost leachate. It can't hurt but from your pictures it looks like they are suffering from nitrogen deficiency mainly. I guess you are trying to grow organically, Scotts recommendation of the Kelp spray is good, but do you have any liquid organic food that you can drench with? Fish hydrolysate or fish hydrolysate & kelp would be good to supply the nutrients the plants are lacking.
