Hancock paid and organized it and had Samuel Adams organize the men.They didn't dress up. This is part of the fable. The Boston Tea Party was a protest of the lowering of the cost of the British tea by the government and the East India tea company who had gotten a bail out from the crown in 1773. The smugglers in the colonies found the Dutch tea that they sold was higher in price than the British tea, so they staged the Boston Tea Party and others in harbors in the colonies ( Hamilton was one of the largest smugglers in the colonies and a founding member of the Son's of Liberty). The cost of tea also went as far back as the Navigation Acts and the restricting of trade to and from the colonies passed from 1650-1733. Tea was also taxed in 1767 in the Townsend Acts.

The colonists held the Boston Tea Party because of the Tea Act, which stated that only the East India Company could sell tea in the colonies, and this was taxed three pence per pound.
At the Boston Tea Party, a group of men, disguised as Indians, boarded ships that were carrying tea and they dumped the tea overboard.
It stands for exactly that: Tea. If you'll do a quick search, the Boston Tea Party was a protest against Tea Act. However, if you're referring to TEA parties being staged all over America, TEA stands for: "Taxed Enough Already".
