Well I don't think I've seen this discussed here before so here goes: I
usually drink my red teas with milk and sugar. When I do that I have
noticed
that the Assams and Ceylons and the African teas too are a sort of a tan
color while the China reds (keemun, yunnan, and kind of congou) have a
greyish cast to the color of the liquid (this is with milk). Has anyone
else
noticed that and what do you think causes it?

Curious,

Have you tried any Malawi tea - this is particulalry known for its red
color when milk is added - its a kind of brick red. Much of it is used in
brands like tetly which have long marketed their teas as being particualry
'red'

Yes actually I like the Chisunga Estate Malawi BOP from Upton very well for
a basic breakfast type with milk and sugar. I like it better thatn the
Kenyan CTC that I've tried. I will have to try the other types of Malawi
teas though...Upton only has the one Malawi from what I know. The comment
from you above about Malawi teas being China type surprises me as I thought
(from their taste) that they'd be more Indian Ceylon type (or at least the
one I get from Upton would be...maybe it is).
