The tea act was a tax on all tea in the colonies. It was made to help pay for the French and Indian war.
The British taxed the colonists everything they could. Under the Stamp Act, all paper products were taxed, and the Tea Act caused a very high tax on tea. The Tea Act caused the Boston Tea Party and much of the unrest that led to the American Revolution.
Although the British East India Company had reduced the price on their tea (due to the Tea Act), this was just a way to hide the taxes of the Townshend Acts from the colonists. Aware of these taxes, the colonists refused to purchase ths tea, refusing to accept that the British had the right to tax them. They protested during the Boston Tea Party, where they dumped the tea into the Boston harbor.
The colonists protested the passage of the Tea Act. One infamous event was the Boston Tea Party, in which protesters destroyed a shipment of tea.
