There’s no need to book a trip to New Zealand to taste that country鈥檚 popular 鈥渞eal fruit鈥 ice cream. A new shop has landed at the Dulles Town Center.

It鈥檚 called , and the owners, Neal Miglani and Neil Shah, say the area is ripe for the sweet treat.

鈥淧eople are more adventurous in this DMV area,鈥 Shah told 草莓传媒. 鈥淭here are so many diverse folks in this area willing to try new things. It鈥檚 the perfect timing to launch something like this.鈥

New Zealand-style soft-serve shops are popping up across the U.S.

Like its American cousin, the treat from down under starts with a scoop of frozen premium ice cream.

The similarities end there.

Workers at Jamun then add a large amount of frozen fruit, including strawberries, mango or blueberries, to a special blender that creates the soft serve.

It鈥檚 not as sweet, but toppings can be added, Miglani said. He discovered the soft serve flooding social media sites. Then, on a trip to Los Angeles, got a taste of it.

鈥淚 thought, 鈥業 need to do something like this,鈥欌 said Miglani, who also owns a warm cookie company. 鈥淚t comes out with the perfect consistency and texture. It has a creamier and more natural flavor.鈥

The business partners say they鈥檙e experimenting with different flavors, including adding Jamun, a tangy and sweet plum popular in India, and the shop鈥檚 namesake.

鈥淲e鈥檙e going for global flavors,鈥 Miglani said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e still working on finalizing our tag line, but I think it will end up as 鈥榞lobal flavors and local love鈥 because that鈥檚 what we鈥檙e all about.鈥
