I wonder whether it is worth it

It looks like a very interesting shop! It's a new retailer dedicating itself to the world of tea. If they have found some good blends, you might have a real winner on your hands. Find out if they blend them selves or do they re-brand other tea company's products.
Now this is a horse of a different color. F&M have been in the tea 'blending' and importing business for a long, long time. Their retailing side came much later.

What we have been planning as a day out in London is turning into Tea day out in London. A visit to a very good steak house has been cancelled and all the money will be invested into teas

I really am quite jealous!

Though most important is TeaSmith, because they have tea drinking events every Thursday at 7 pm. We would like to attend it if they aren't fully booked up yet.

That really sounds interesting. That's the way to really learn a lot about teas! The Brits know how to do it right! We Americans tried to have a Tea Party twice (once in a harbor and once in politics) and messed it up both times!
