The Tea Act was set in 1773 by Great Britain's Parliament. Since tea was being so heavily boycotted among the colonies, the Tea Act was needed in order for the tea company not to fail.

This would help the tea company become financially stronger and prosper. This act led to one of the most memorable causes of the Revolution: NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.
