The Tea Act of 1773 was an act that gave the British East India Trading Company the exclusive right to sell tea in the American colonies. This act was passed in the hopes that it would help reduce the surplus of tea owned by the British East India Trading Company. This act outraged the colonists and led to protests such as the Boston Tea Party. It helped to spark the ideas on a revolution in the city of Boston.

At Rishi Tea & Botanicals we set our own progressive standards for ethical trade and direct sourcing. Like wine, many teas come from heritage gardens with a storied legacy. This is not like purchasing a bulk commodity on the international market.
