Botanical teas: Is mature nettle as power-packed as young?

[lalstalls]

I've started a ROLS grow, and have purchased stinging nettle and comfrey to make teas.

I can gather these - and dandelion and horsetail fern - where I live.

But are mature plants - the ones available to me now - as good for teas? I've heard praise for young nettle. Is the fully grown stuff as power-packed?

Thanks!

Anyone know whether nutrients are as aggregated in the mature plants? If so, I'd like to cut now to use in fall and winter...

Thanks.

I've looked for answers using the Search, and by means of this post.

Is this something no one knows? Or am I asking the question wrong? Or asking the wrong question?
