Chang is convinced that unifying the Mt. Ali brand name and pricing are moves worth promoting in their own right, but the Chiayi County Tea Producers Association has organized its own tea competitions for many years now and its packaging using the Mt. Ali Forest Railway logo is already well-known. Persuading its over 900 members to simply stop using a trademark that has served them well over many years will be no easy task.
「我很贊同縣政府的理念，」張金能指出，統一阿里山茶的品牌和價格很值得推動，但嘉義縣製茶工會舉辦茶比賽已行之有年，包裝上阿里山小火車的商標也已深植人心，要九百多位工會會員輕易放棄經營多年的商標，實屬可惜。
