In response to the Boston Tea Party incident, Parliament passed The Boston Port Act (one of the so-called "Intolerable Acts") closed the port of Boston until the East India Tea Company was repaid for the tea that had been dumped overboard (an amount of £90,000--probably equivalent to £10 million, today). Benjamin Franklin urged that the repayment be made and a group of New York merchants went to Lord North with an offer to pay for the losses, but they were turned down.
As the conflict escalated, the British abolished the Massachusetts provincial government, effectively placing the colony under military rule. General Gage, the military governor, ordered raids on the Americans' munitions stores at Concord and hostilities began. Following the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Americans surrounded Boston, preventing the British Army from any movement off the peninsula. After a lengthy stalemate, the British withdrew from Boston in March of 1776.
The rest, as they say, is history. To the best of my knowledge, the East India Tea Company was never repaid.

The tea was sold by the British East India Company. Part of the driving force behind the Boston Tea Party was that the East India Company was tax-exempt, whereas other tea companies in the colonies were taxed. This effectively gave the East India Company a monopoly. Thus, the Boston Tea Party was not just about taxation without representation, but was also a reaction to government-enforced monopoly.
