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)


Explanation:
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

The Ureshino refers to the city of manufacture.

"Eisei no Megumi" Ureshino Tea or Tea from Ureshino

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. :-)

Example sentence(s):
  • 【衛星の恵み】 うれしの茶は、人工衛星を利用して優良茶園を選び、 そこから採れた高品質な茶葉を使って、JA直営の製茶工場で「安全・安心」をモットーに心を込めて 作った美味し�

Notes to answerer
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


Explanation:
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


Explanation:
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.
