Belicia, the chief connoisseur of Kashijia Coffee, the UK's largest coffee chain, has a natural sensitivity to coffee and is responsible for about 180m cups of coffee sold each year, so the company insured its tongue for $14 million.

Belicia tasted tens of thousands of different styles of coffee and distinguished the difference by his tongue. A spokesman for Kashijia Coffee said: "the taste buds of coffee masters are very important, like the vocal cords of singers or the long legs of models." As a personal insurance, this should be one of the most valuable insurance in the world. "
