I am constantly removing leaves from my Stevia plant, to 'bruise' them for sweetening hot and cold beverages and I do that before the plant produces flowers.  Therefore, it is possible to remove Stevia leaves or tips of the stem, at any time; but the plant is at its sweetest, when flowers are showing.
