An infusion bag made of a nonwoven textile fabric is described, which includes fibers and/or filaments made of at least one filter material, the textile fabric having a hot-sealable surface which is formed by hot-sealable fibers and/or filaments made of at least one hot-sealable material. It is provided according to the present invention that the fibers and/or filaments made of the filter material and the fibers and/or filaments made of the hot-sealable material are present in the textile fabric in the form of a mixture, the proportion of the fibers and/or filaments made of the hot-sealable material increasing over the cross section toward the hot-sealable surface of the textile fiber as a gradient. The infusion bag according to the present invention is characterized by excellent filtering properties, high visual transparency, and an excellent pop-up function and is manufacturable simply and economically as a single-layer product. It is particularly well-suited for use as a tea bag or a coffee pod.
