  the Assam variety, clonal to the native to Assam, was used everywhere else

  judge verdicts (2)

  • groundedness 0.70 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage, which states 'the Assam variety, clonal to the native to Assam, was used everywhere else' in the context of Indian tea production. The phrase 'everywhere else' refers to regions in India other than Sikkim, Darjeeling, and Kangra where the Chinese variety was used, making this a directly stated fact with only minor rewording in the claim.
  • qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage qualifiers. The viewpoint correctly identifies the author as the source (no named source attributes this statement). Stance 'asserts' and sentiment 'neutral' are appropriate. Time qualifiers are correctly null as the passage provides no specific temporal scope for this usage. Context 'tea production' accurately reflects the passage's domain. The quote is verbatim and supports the claim. Minor note: The passage uses the phrase 'was used everywhere else' in a historical context discussing British tea plantation establishment (1836 onwards implied), so while time is correctly null per the passage, readers should understand this refers to the colonial tea production period. All qualifier requirements are met.
• British later used seeds from Assam variety later ⟨tea cultivation⟩
  assertsneutralsource: history-of-tea

  later seeds from the clonal Assam plant were used

  judge verdicts (2)

  • groundedness 0.70 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'At first they used seeds from China, but later seeds from the clonal Assam plant were used.' The subject (British), predicate (later used seeds from), and object (Assam variety/clonal Assam plant) are all present with minor rewording but fully supported.
  • qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. Viewpoint ('author'), stance ('asserts'), sentiment ('neutral'), and context ('tea cultivation') are all appropriate. The temporal qualifier 'later' correctly reflects the passage's relative timeframe. The quote is verbatim from the passage. Minor deduction: the quote uses passive voice ('were used') but does not explicitly name 'British' as the agent, though the passage clearly attributes this action to them in context. This is a very minor issue as the surrounding context makes the attribution clear.
