Most psychedelic brands lean hard in one direction—either high-dose “blast off” or subtle microdose “brain hack.” But Neau Tropics does something different. They build flexibility and intention into every product, meeting people wherever they are on their journey. Whether you’re looking to tune in or turn all the way on, they’ve got a dose for that.
As a team, we were curious. We’d already spoken with founder Eli about the care and craft behind the brand, but now it was time to see what that actually felt like. So we tried the full Neau Tropics lineup—chocolates, gummies, and the lesser-known but very intriguing spritzes—and paid close attention to how they landed.
We each used the products a little differently. Some days were for microdosing while working or walking in nature. Other times, we leaned in a little deeper, letting the experience take us somewhere unexpected. What stood out most wasn’t just the effects—it was the consistency, the clarity, and the sense that we were in good hands.
Here’s how each product held up in real life, and what it taught us about how thoughtful dosing can shape the whole experience.
A Ceremonial Experience
Mathew’s 3-Gram Chocolate Journey
Mathew sampled three grams of Neau Tropics chocolate—two grams of Strawberry Shortcake and one gram of Irish Cream.
“I’ve had one-gram doses before,” he said, “so I knew these were potent. But I was curious how three grams would hit. Surprisingly, it wasn’t a radically different experience in intensity—it was more like an extended expression of the one-gram vibe, just deeper.”
With the house to himself and a carefully curated playlist queued up, Mathew had an ideal set and setting. But then—something unexpected happened.
“I must’ve accidentally tapped something on my phone because the playlist switched to Smart Shuffle,” he laughed. “Didn’t even know that was a thing on Spotify. Suddenly it was feeding me these songs out of order, songs I never would’ve picked—but they flowed together perfectly. It was almost eerie how right they felt.”
What started as a linear musical plan turned into a spontaneously orchestrated sonic journey—Lakota prayer songs, tribal rhythms, ambient handpan music, electronic pulses.
“Every few songs, it would serve me something I hadn’t added—something completely aligned. I was trying to save tracks mid-trip because they were that good. It turned into a musical journey I never could’ve planned—one that felt guided by something beyond me.”
There were also some powerful personal insights, especially around the themes that Mathew recognized as reflections from past ayahuasca journeys.
He added, “We’ve been reading The Four Agreements for book club, and I had this moment of clarity like—oh wow, it all comes back to this. The agreements we make with ourselves, with society—it was all swirling together in this funny, profound, cosmic way. So yeah, a beautiful experience—both musically and personally. Smart Shuffle might just be my new trip guide.”
The Microdose Experience
Holly’s Spritz-and-Soil Session
While Mathew went deep, Holly took a lighter path—sampling the Psilocin Spray from Neau Tropics.
“I’m a total microdoser,” she explains. “Bigger gram trips haven’t been a big priority in my life lately. I tend to hang out around 0.1 to 0.25 grams, depending on the day. So this spritz format? Totally my jam.”
The Psilocin Spray (or ‘spritzes’ as Holly calls them) contains 8 grams of active psilocin in the full bottle, with each spray delivering roughly 100 mg. Recommended microdose: 1 to 4 sprays.
“I love how easy it is to travel with, and the dosing is super flexible. I follow a three-days-on, two-days-off protocol to avoid building tolerance. My first day, I tried one spray—sub-perceptual, just as it should be.”
Over the weekend, Holly bumped up to three sprays and spent the day gardening.
“It was one of those perfect sunny days, and I had a mix of tasks—some boring, some joyful. Pulling weeds, hauling soil… not exactly thrilling. But also planting flowers, watering, and connecting with the earth. Mushrooms are super earthy, and when you get your hands in the dirt and your skin in the sunshine, it really feels like a perfect piece of heaven. A place where we should all spend more time. The spritzes helped me find my center and just melt into something I really enjoy.”
She described a quiet shift in her state of mind:
“I wasn’t worried about what was next. I wasn’t in my head about dinner or the Sunday scaries. I was just in it—present, hands in the soil, noticing the beauty in the small things. It felt earthy, aligned, and gently euphoric. That’s the kind of mushroom experience I love.”
Holly continues to use the spritz on workdays, too. “One or two sprays helps me cut through the noise when I’ve got a million tabs open in my brain. It’s like mental composting—it turns the overwhelm into fertile ground.”
Holly also tried the Watermelon Mojito Gummies, her first-ever psilocybin gummy.
“I’d already had a couple spritzes that day, so I just nibbled one—each gummy contains 0.5 grams, which is technically a microdose but a little high for me. The flavor, though? So good. It tasted like summer. It made me crave a pool float and a sunny afternoon.”
Eye Candy with Intention
Both reviewers also sampled additional Neau Tropics goodies—and one thing they agreed on was the impressive branding and packaging.
“These products are gorgeous,” said Holly. “It really matters. Beautiful packaging isn’t just aesthetic—it creates a sense of trust and intention. You can feel that it’s high-quality, not some sketchy baggie with a crooked label.”
The Neau Tropics Flight includes three mini chocolate bars—each containing 2 grams of psilocybin—in Dark Chocolate, Irish Cream, and Strawberry Shortcake.
“It’s such a thoughtful gift or party addition,” Mathew noted. “Something I’d bring to a small gathering or concert. I plan to gift a couple to friends and collect their reviews too.”
Mushrooms for Every Journey
What stood out most to us about Neau Tropics wasn’t just the quality of the products—it was how versatile they are. Whether you’re deep in ceremony, casually microdosing on a workday, or heading to a weekend festival, there’s something here that fits.
The spray is low-key brilliant for travel and events. It’s discreet, fast-acting, and easy to dose on the fly—perfect for long music-filled weekends when you want to share a little spritz of sunshine with friends while dancing. The gummies are a dream for warm-weather adventures: pre-dosed, delicious, and portable enough to toss in your fanny pack without thinking twice. And the chocolates? Whether you’re journeying solo or sharing with friends around the fire, they make the experience feel elevated from the very first bite.
Neau Tropics doesn’t tell you how to trip. They simply offer beautifully crafted tools for wherever your path leads—gentle focus, deep connection, or just a little joy on a sunny afternoon.
And that’s what we’re about, too. Wherever you’re going, may it be weird, wonderful, and just the right amount of wild.
