It seems this product is neither trademark nor registered trademark. So, it is recommendable to write it in Japanese first followed by English explanation enclosed in parentheses for supplementary explanation for the sake of English-speaking people.

Comment: "Sorry for the delay in closing this question. I do not think that there can be any single correct translation for this. However, I am awarding the points to Saito-san as the client decided to go ahead with his suggestion. Thank you Saito-san and all others who came forward to my rescue."

Eisei no Megumi Ureshi no Cha (tea)
Please see the website - it shows images of the packaging for the tea.
I think it would be a little unnatural to try to translate it directly into English and I think it looks good in Japanese.

It's like a special commemorative tea product that's related to JAXA (Japan Space Exploration Agency). Please see below:
こちらは、JAXAの公募研究の一環で、
「佐賀大学」と「JAさが」が、共同開発した商品。
お茶の甘みは、テアニンって成分の含有量で決まるんだけど
窒素の多いところで育った茶葉は、このテアニンの含有量も多いんだって。
人工衛星の画像から、窒素含有量の多い場所を表示させ、
選び出された茶園のお茶っ葉を詰めたのが、
「衛星の恵み・うれしの茶」。
ちなみに、摘み取り時期の判断には、気象モニターシステムを利用してるそう。
「衛星の恵み」を試飲できなかったのが、残念なカンジ＞＜
いつか、飲んでみたいな

I think translations of products can seem corny. Maybe you can use the romaji and put a translation in parentheses to inform English readers?
This has nothing to do with this tea, but I had the distinct pleasure of interpreting for the president of JAXA 4 years ago...And was invited to interpret for him in India 3 years ago (I couldn't go that time.) It was a most interesting experience. :-)

Note from asker:
| Thanks Joyce. I would certainly not like to come up with my own version of translation for this. ローマ字 rendering is one of the options that I have in mind. However, I am concerned that an English reader will not be able figure out anything from that. I do not think that there is an official English name for this. However, if there is one, and if someone knows it (wishful thinking!!), I would be very grateful. Or else, as suggested by cinefil, I ask the client how he would like me to handle this. |

the "Salellite Blessing" Ureshino Tea
Obviously this is a copywriting job, and a translator can only make a suggestion.
This is one that I would make.

Green Tea from Ureshino, Saga -- specially grown under Cosmode Project
I don't think direct translation of 恵み is necessary as target consumer would be non-Japanese speaking. Such word only confuse potential buyers.
