There were a variety of different colonist reactions to the events of the Boston Tea Party.
1) Positive: 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 concerns seriously and the British took note.
2) Negative: Loyalists in Boston were dismayed by what they saw as a childish action. Instead of paying the lowest taxes in the entire British Empire, their fellow colonists felt the urge to act out. It bears noting that the taxes were raised to pay off debts incurred during the Seven Years War (also known as the French and Indian War) that helped to defend the American colonies. Loyalist sentiment was further angered because Loyalists knew that the British would retaliate for the act, which they did with the Intolerable and Townshend Acts in addition to making the colonists pay for the tea they spilled.
3) Neutral: This opinion came from those who could either see both the good and the bad or just did not care enough to involve themselves in politics. (Funny as it might seem, a number of people just wanted to make an honest wage and sleep with their spouses.)

The Boston Tea Party
The Boston Tea Party was actually not a war. Here is what it was, and what happened. The Tea Act passed. The colonists did not want to pay taxes. So, here is where the Boston Tea Party kicks in, one year after the Tea Act. Here is what you've been waiting for! The Boston Tea Party was an event that was three boats full of colonists. They cut open chests of tea and they dumped it in the Boston Harbor (harr-berr)! The colonists had to pay it off. So, the colonists named that law the Intolerable(in-toll-err-a-bowl) Act. So, the Boston Tea Party was not a war, but it was an event that the colonists responded to the Tea Act.
