£1million insurance deal for taste buds
Tetley Tea has insured their chief blender's taste buds for £1million.
The beverage manufacturer has spent the hefty amount in case the 32-year-old employee loses his expert ability to create the perfect brew.
Sebastian Michaelis - who joined the company in 2005 - has an acute sense of taste meaning he is able to identify and grade one of 1,500 varieties of tea within 15 seconds.
The costly deal - which works out at £100 for each of his 10,000 taste buds - is the same amount as '9 to 5' singer Dolly Parton's policy to insure her breasts.
