Looking for Cinchona Bark/Powder in the Bay

Looking for Cinchona Bark or Powder somewhere in the Bay, preferably SF. Using it to make Quinine Syrup for Gin and Tonics, I have heard its hard to find. Can anyone help me out?

    Ended up trying Duc Loi Market (saw a rec on a previous post) in the Mission and they had it! Thanks for the help!

        Just called this place and they said they don't have it, and that they are looking for a source to get it..

        $3/oz when I got some several months ago. Not sure when I'll be making tonic syrup again due to the expense and especially the effort required to make it...zesting all that fruit was a big pain.
