I have seen a site called asiachi but never bought anything from them, their gaiwans are very inexpensive like 5-9 bucks, does anyone know of them, or have bought stuff from them?

AsiaChi is the online store of Wing Hop Fung, a large Chinese department store in Los Angeles. See:

I bought a Zojirushi hot water pot from them. Price and delivery time were good.

[Michael] So, I have these little one and a half ounce to two ounce gaiwans which are just right for producing one or two little cups of tea for each steep. I can put the tea through any number of steeps and enjoy each one by myself. With friends a five to six ounce gaiwan is more common, or an YiXing pot. For myself, I have YiXing pots of approximately three ounces, but even these are too large for me alone. There is a tradition of tiny YiXing pots, which were in some cases exquisitely made. I have one very small YiXing dedicated to green teas, and it does a fantastic job with them. None of which speaks to your issue at all, does it? Well. Say la tea!

I've seen the 30g teapots occasionally. I thought they were an oddity for display and not use.

Jim, for all I know, they are as you say. But, I don't give a rat's ass; I use them anyway. Well, mine are closer to 45-50 grams. M
and water. It wasn't meant for a dollhouse but close enough. I'm guessing at the 1oz size but I'd be surprised if it was two.
