I was fortunate in that I only ordered sample packets and not 100g containers of each!
I have a bag of cheap unbranded touchas that I bought in a Chinese shop that make a nice cup of pu-erh. But they are only something that I would want to drink when I'm making Chinese food for dinner, just to keep me in the mood. Actually, for that I prefer Tsingtao beer!

That doesn't bother me. The cooked stuff tastes great. The uncooked tastes a bit boring to me.
I wonder if white tea drinkers would like green pu erh.
