The purpose of the tea act was to let the company bypass tea merchants, or stores, and sell directly to colonists, so the colonists wouldn't have to pay the higher price. The main goal was to get colonists to pay tax, without thinking they were.
Heres an ex. If it took Britain $1 to make the tea, and the tea merchants or stores bought it for $4, they would make $3. Then if the tea merchants or stores sold it for $10, they would make $6. Now, if Britain sold directly to the colonists, and sold it to them for $7, then Britain would make more and the colonies would pay less.
Britain------------->Tea shop------------->Colonist
$1 $4 $10
The amount represents how much money they spent to get the tea.
Britain------------->Tea shop------------->Colonist
$1 $7
If they skip the tea merchants, Britain makes more and the colonies pay less. They wanted to get the colonies to pay tax.
