Assembled, not stated by the vendor: a sibling product under the same supplier code is titled with the Hanamizu name, the only tea in the vendor's catalogue titled with a person's surname, and a separate retailer names Nagano-en and Hanamizu Michio as the makers of those teas. The Ibaraki prefectural portal gives him as Nagano-en's garden manager in Sakai, growing zairai. No single source attributes this exact product by name.
