I drank a cup of this tea at Het Gouden Randje.
It has a vegetal aroma and a grassy flavour. The colour is a lovely yellow-green. It has a pleasant hint of bitterness (which reminds me of UNAMI's Kabuse Cha, which is my only previous run-in with sencha). There's no sweetness in the flavour, and even though I usually love sweetish teas, this one was really nice. Also, I've seen sencha described as seaweed-like many times, and I am inclined to agree.
I need to remember this tea.
