"Tea Zen blindly" refers to tasting tea as meditation, which is a Buddhist allusion. The allusion comes from Zhao Zhou's famous saying-"Go for tea". Yuan Wu Keqin, a monk in the Song Dynasty, savored the infinite mystery of tea with the concept and thought of Zen, and wrote "Tea Zen Blindly" with a wave of his hand. His original work was taken to Japan by disciples, and now it is treasured in Daejeon Temple in Nara, Japan, as a treasure of Zhensi.

Tea ceremony was introduced into Japan, and tea Zen became the main idea of Japanese tea ceremony. During the period of Antu Taoshan, Cha Sheng Morino Masajiro introduced Bi-Sabi into the tea ceremony, which combined with Zen and formed the foundation of Japanese tea ceremony today.

Tea ceremony originated in China and developed in Japan. Tea ceremony and Zen Buddhism have the same goal, but they complement each other, so "tea Zen blindly" is regarded as the highest realm of Japanese tea ceremony.
