About La Bastilla
La Bastilla is a Colombian roasted coffee brand that joined the group in 1968, when Compañía Nacional de Chocolates bought the Fábrica de Café La Bastilla to complement its Colcafé coffee business. The company behind it later became Tropical Coffee Company, one of the operations of Grupo Nutresa's coffee unit, which leads the roasted and ground coffee market in Colombia.
