The second part of Sir Trevor McDonald’s ITV documentary, “The Secret Caribbean with Trevor McDonald” was shown on Sunday 5th July at 8pm. While in Jamaica he made a trip to the Blue Mountain coffee plantation where he met the plantation owner, David Twynam and his family, who have battled to run their business due to the unforgiving terrain and hurricanes that have put their crops under severe threat.

The plantation manager showed Trevor the site, and outlined the processes that they undertake to grow, pick and roast their crops. After this he was given a sample of the coffee which can sell for up to $40 per pound (£25 per pound).

Blue Mountain coffee is one of the most expensive varieties on the market, apart from Kopi Luwak which also is in high demand.
