Tetley tea blender's tongue insured for £1m

From BBC

Tetley tea blender, Sebastian Michaelis, will join a number of celebrities who have body parts insured, with his employer set to have his tongue covered for £1m. He tests over 1,000 cups of tea per week and can name the variety or blend of a tea within 15 seconds.

Mr Michaelis, who now belongs to an exclusive club of celebrities who have had their assets insured, such as Jennifer Lopez's bottom and Keith Richards' hands; also revealed that tea is brewed for six minutes for the tastings.

However, he said that he is still allowed to eat hot foods, and doesn't have to be too careful with what he consumes, unless it "is right before" he conducts a tasting.
