Steeping Hope: PDTEA's Journey from Argentina to Parkinson's Relief
Embark on a remarkable exploration of PDTEA, a specially blended tea that began as a chance discovery on a cycling path in Argentina. Combining ten purposeful ingredients, each aimed at alleviating Parkinson's symptoms, this brew is gaining accolades from those who have experienced its benefits. Learn how PDTEA's creator, Lloyd Taylor, is sharing this innovative solution with others and supporting the broader mission to end Parkinson's through a partnership with the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
In the northeast corner of Argentina, there is a cycling path that winds its way into the high hills. The surface is hard packed, but uneven. The heat of the mid-day sun is relentless although the landscape is lush, and the vistas are rewarding.
In the summer of 2022, a friend of mine was on this path, part way into a multi-week cycling trip. He was battling fatigue, elevation, temperature, and the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Stopping at a rest hut, he was served a hot mug of local tea. The taste was unpleasant, but he felt energized. He began seeking out the tea. He began feeling better and his symptoms improved.
My wife and I saw him the week he returned to Canada, and we were both struck by how good he looked. I asked what was new in his routine, and his answer was immediate... the tea. I started drinking it myself and felt my own PD symptoms ease. Intrigued, I began doing research and found medical evidence supporting what I was experiencing. I was excited, but there were a few problems. The format of the tea made it awkward to consume. The bitter taste wasn’t growing on me, and our small Argentinian supply was dwindling.
I looked for a solution and found it in my own backyard. My neighbour of twenty years is one of Canada’s leading tea merchants. Once I explained the effect the tea was having on my Parkinson’s, he jumped into the project. His team prepared a dozen blends for testing. We nicknamed the project Parkinson’s Disease tea – PDTEA for short.
PDTEA contains ten all-natural, organic ingredients, each one focused on a symptom of Parkinson’s, Dopamine production, cognitive functions, anxiety, energy, inflammation, and digestion. It’s rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It’s packaged in biodegradable sachets and blended in a state-of-the-art facility powered by renewable energy. And I’m happy to say, it tastes nice. It has an earthy flavour that provides me comfort all on its own.
I’ve shared PDTEA with my local Parkinson’s community and the response has been overwhelming.

I created PDTEA for my own consumption and my immediate Parkinson’s community. But through our partnership with PDAvengers we can do much more. I encourage you to visit PDTEA.com and add your name to our waitlist to experience the benefits for yourself.
We also realize that along with bringing relief to people living with Parkinson’s, we can help advance the search for a cure. We are excited to announce proceeds from PDTEA are directed to the Michael J. Fox Foundation through Team Fox.
As a busy entrepreneur, husband and father of three, I consider myself a fortunate person. I can say that in some respects, the disease has given me more than it has taken. The disease has introduced me to a community of people who find a way to live their best lives despite the obstacle of Parkinson’s. The course of their lives has been altered by the disease and they have chosen to find new paths; sometimes better than the ones they were on.
Being diagnosed with Parkinson’s altered my own life path and I have relied on the Parkinson’s community for support. PDTEA is my opportunity to give back. I intend to use my energy and my experience to bring as much relief as I can.
Please join me.
Every drop helps.
