Question

Does anyone know how much the British taxed on tea during the revolutionary era?

Answer 1

3 pennies on every pound of tea

Answer 2

The act granted the EIC a monopoly on the sale of tea that was cheaper than smuggled tea; its hidden purpose was to force the colonists to pay a tax of 3 pennies on every pound of tea. The Tea Act thus retained the three pence Townshend duty on tea imported to the colonies.
