Splashy tea on keyboard....?

I accidentally splashed some tea on my macbook keyboard--not a lot, but enough to get it wet. I quickly mopped up most of it, turned it off/unplugged everything and turned the laptop upside down so it could drain, and a little bit of water did drip out. I left it upside down for a few minutes, then closed it and opened up as much of the back as I could (I foolishly don't have a small screwdriver, so I could only open the battery/trackpad compartment). That part of the inside was totally dry, but I wiped it down to be sure. When I opened it back up there was a little bit of condensation on the screen from the keyboard, so I left it closed for a while longer until condensation stopped collecting. I'm using it now and it works fine. Should I contact tech services or am I in the clear?

    I would have left it off for at least a day, but that is me...

    If you really want it on "now!",

    Don't move it around as the water still in there might migrate somewhere where it can cause some damage.
