Washington officials said no early liberalization of coffee rations is likely. The announced ration of one pound per person every five days takes effect after midnight on November 26, based on expected imports and future shipments. Substitutes are being sought but tea and coffee likely won’t be included as black tea sales are cut, green tea is scarce, and cocoa use is down.
