Does anyone know what tea specifically the Boston Tea Party targeted? Do you know WHY the Boston Tea Party actually happened?
The target of the Boston Tea Party was the British East India Company's tea being imported from China.

The reason they were targeted was that they were being exempted from the stamp taxes that had been placed on the cheaper tea that was being imported from the Caribbean.
So, in short, working hand in hand with British authorities, Chinese goods being imported were being given an unfair trade advantage in the American colonies.

As such, the ships targeted by the Boston Tea Party were intrinsically linked to authoritarian government enforcers.
