As Boston was a rather revolutionary city (as opposed to New York which was a more loyalist city), many colonists in Boston saw the Boston Tea Party as a demonstration that British taxation without representation was a greater issue to them than the cost savings of purchasing the tea with taxes (even with taxes, British tea was less expensive). Also it showed that the Bostonians took their political concerns seriously.
