The passing of the Tea Act imposed no new taxes on the American colonies. ... Besides the tax on tea which had been in place since 1767, what fundamentally angered the American colonists about the Tea Act was the British East India Company's government sanctioned monopoly on tea.

Answer:
Boston Tea Party is the designation given to a protest action by British settlers in America against the British government, in which the shipment of tea from three ships belonging to the East India Company was launched to the waters of Boston Harbor.
The incident, which took place on December 16, 1773, was a key event in the course of the American Revolution and remains a key event in the history of the United States. The settlers disguised themselves as Indians to raid Company ships and toss the tea load overboard. The protest mentor, George Washington, was one of the "Sons of Liberty", a secret association created by the colonists against the British.
The Boston Tea Party was a way for settlers to show the British that they thought the British taxed them unfairly.
The original location from which the Boston Tea Paert was held no longer exists.
Taxation without representation, the colonists were taxed by the British without the Colonists own government being consulted. Another reason was the that the British did not allow the Colonists to move into the newly aquired area of the northwest region(Ohio, Kentucky etc.), because the British promised the area to the Native Americans. And may I note the Colonists actually considered themselves to be British.
