Tea and Zen, one for daily use and the other concerning philosophy insights, are intricately different. Cultures of these two gradually, however, associated as a whole due to their long-time mutual touching. Tea lies in tasting while Zen calls for enlightenment. Practicing the meditation is just like savoring the tea during which one can get self-enlightenment. One can also get himself exalted via his mediation on the tea-zen culture. By one’s flashes of realization, the tea and zen share the common taste and both seek for the tranquil life and classic aesthetic sentiment.
