The Tea Act is when the American colony was taxed for every load of tea that was brought into the port, especially Boston Harbor. The Tea Tax put it out of the buying range of the most colonistd. Also, the colonists were tired of being taxed without being consulted. That's why we have no taxation without representation, although in ,any cases taxes are passed anyway, despite verbal protest.
