For centuries, *Passiflora incarnata* has been valued for its calming effects, a use recorded even by indigenous peoples of the Americas. The key question for evening use, however, is: **Does passionflower have caffeine**? The definitive answer is no; passionflower is naturally free of caffeine, making it a perfect choice for unwinding.

Most teas derived from the *Camellia sinensis* plant contain both the amino acid L-theanine and the stimulant caffeine. L-theanine is known for its calming and anxiety-reducing effects, while caffeine provides an energy boost. This unique combination is the reason many tea drinkers experience a state of relaxed yet focused alertness.

While some mistakenly believe it's an energy booster, evidence shows that passion fruit contains mild sedative and anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) properties that promote relaxation and sleep, making the answer to the question, "Is passion fruit a stimulant?" a definitive no. Instead, it offers a range of calming benefits for the nervous system, with no stimulating caffeine content.
