According to Alan Moorehead's classic book on the subject, "Gallipoli" (1956), p. 137, the British did indeed stop for tea in the afternoon rather than solidifying their advances and flanking the Turks who were even then battering ANZAC forces. According to Moorhead, this was a decisive factor in turning an intial success into a massacre, as the tea-time break allowed the initially overwhelmed Turks to regroup and retrench.

What other ways beside the Boston tea act party might colonists have protested the tea act?

Another way instead of the Boston Tea Party that colonists might have done to protest the Tea Act was not buying the British tea. If many colonists didn't buy tea from Britain or just stop drinking it then the British wouldn't be making a profit from that sale and this would anger them because they need money. Maybe the British would lower the prices or make a compromise with the colonies.
