Question
what did the tea act aim to achieve? save the british east india company. increase taxes on tea. encourage colonists to drink dutch tea.
Brief Explanations
The Tea Act was passed to help the struggling British East India Company by giving it a monopoly on tea sales in the colonies, not to increase tea taxes (the Townshend Acts had already taxed tea, and the Tea Act actually lowered the effective tax for colonists in a way but aimed to save the company) or encourage Dutch tea (the company sold British tea).
