The Tea Act was passed in 1773, before the Boston Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party was a protest against the tea act, as tea smugglers and merchants were afraid cheap tea would put them out of business. Since it was the reason for the Boston Tea Party, it could not be a punishment for Massachusetts.
