Why did the tea act of 1774 anger colonists? it meant they would not be able to buy tea. it closed the port of boston to all trade. it forced merchants to buy tea from africa. it favored a british company over merchants.

the correct answer is that it favored a British company over merchants.

Explanation:

The Tea Act, passed by Parliament on May 10, 1773, gave the British East India Company Tea a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonies. This was the last straw that ultimately compelled a group of Sons of Liberty members on the night of December 16, 1773 to disguise themselves as Mohawk Indians, board three ships moored in Boston Harbor, and destroy over 92,000 pounds of tea.
