quinine extracted from quinine bark and the use of natural
bark tea and/or bark extracts are making a comeback in the

Cinchona, or quinine bark, is
one of the rainforest's most famous plants and most
important discoveries. Legend has it that the name cinchona
came from the countess of Chinchon, the wife of a Peruvian
viceroy, who was cured of a malarial type of fever by using
the bark of the cinchona tree in 1638.
It was supposedly
introduced to European medicine in 1640 by the countess of
Chinchon, even before botanists had identified and named the
species of tree. more
Our company is located in
Guatemala, where we grow, process and export finely grinded
Cinchona succirubra bark to countries like Holland, Germany
and SE Asia.
We are
aware that the scarcity of quinine salts and its 15-fold
pricing from source to sink, makes the task for Malaria
Control -a difficult journey.
