Spilling Tea on a Mac:

If you have AppleCare+, then it is covered. Go here: AppleCare Products - Mac - Apple. To see if you have AppleCare+ coverage, login here: Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support


Recovering your Data:

Elsewise, it is a matter of cleaning it up, and restoring your data from a Time Machine Backup that you created.
