Mmm..So, in both Sugar and Honey, I did not know the farms/apiaries the actual product comes from. In sugar, I didn't even know much besides 'we buy it in lots' from the broker. The End. Which sounds very similar to what you are dealing with in coffee. Have you established (and have it detailed in your FSP) that you are handling the FS/Q risks with this ingredient in your facility?
The chance you are going to get a broker to give up who they get their product from overseas is pretty close to 0.
Edit-Here's a wall of text that might help direct you to the actual FSVP rules you might be able to use. Here's the link, but the wall of text below is some of the pertinent info Frequently Asked Questions on FSMA | FDA. No, I'm not going to make the wall of text pretty, I got crap to do today :P
FSVP Rule FSVP.4 Will importers find themselves having to meet the provisions in the FSVP regulations and the regulations on preventive controls for human and animal foods? Importers are only subject to the preventive controls rules if they are also facilities that manufacture, process, pack or hold food. An importer that is a facility can be deemed in compliance with most aspects of FSVP if it is: in compliance with the supply-chain program requirements in the preventive controls rules; itself implementing preventive controls to significantly minimize or prevent hazards in accordance with the requirements in the preventive controls rules; or not required to implement a preventive control under the preventive controls regulations in certain specified circumstances (for instance, because its customer will significantly minimize or prevent the identified hazard and the facility complies with the requirements related to relying on customers to significantly minimize or prevent hazards.) FSVP.9. What if no hazards requiring a control are identified for a particular food? There may be many circumstances in which an importer evaluates the known and reasonably foreseeable hazards in a food and determines that there are no hazards requiring control. In these cases, the importer would not be required to conduct a supplier evaluation or determine what foreign supplier verification and related activities to conduct and would not be required to conduct such activities. Examples of foods for which there might not be hazards requiring controls include salt, many kinds of crackers, many cookies and many types of candy (such as hard candy, fudge, maple candy, taffy and toffee), bread, dried pasta, honey, molasses, sugar, syrup, soft drinks and certain jams, jellies and preserves
