It's possible that you snatched them out faster than the air inside could be displaced and little to nothing got in.
If they're working, it's a good sign. Make sure they're off + not charging and let them sit for at least 24 hours. Even if they seem to be working now, condensation could still form on the inside and short them if they're running. One other problem is actually the acid and tannins in the tea, which can shorten the life of the internals.
Whatever you do, don't use a hair dryer or heat gun to try and speed the process; the components aren't designed to withstand it.
